Museum Archive: Vintage Red Eye Lures Red Eye Evil Eye, 1/3oz Pink fishing spoon #22853

A matte pink finish gives this vintage spoon a distinct profile for a variety of freshwater species. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), this Red Eye Evil Eye, identified by product code 22853, represents the classic American tackle design from Red Eye Lures. The hallmark feature is the translucent red glass bead pinned through a precision-cut slot in the metal, serving as a striking focal point. While the face is vibrant pink, the reverse side is finished in a clean white, offering a high-contrast flash. This USA-made specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining its original hardware including the silver treble hook and split rings. The manufacturer's mark is subtly stamped near the line tie, confirming its pedigree among collectors of mid-century hardware.
