Hammered textures ripple across the silver-plated surface of this 4 1/2" (11.5 cm) spoon, a classic design from the Eppinger workshops in the USA. Identified by product code 1981, this Red Eye Evil Eye weighs in at 2/3 oz (18 g), providing the density needed for both long-distance casting and controlled trolling depths. A faceted red glass bead is securely mounted near the head, creating a focal point that catches light similarly to the hammered finish. The front face is accented with a wavy green and yellow stripe, adding a splash of color to the bright silver base. In a 4/5 condition, the lure remains well-preserved, showing only minor hints of handling that don't detract from its reflective quality. It remains equipped with its original treble hook and split ring hardware.
