Museum Archive: Vintage Red Eye Lures Red Eye Evil Eye, 2/5oz nickel/blue/red eye fishing spoon #23054

Featuring a high-polish nickel finish, this spoon is decorated with a vibrant blue zigzag lightning bolt across its convex side. This Red Eye Lures Evil Eye, designated with product code 23054, tips the scales at 2/5oz (12g) and spans a length of 3" (7.5cm). Its most striking characteristic is the namesake 'eye'—a faceted red bead pinned through the metal with a gold-toned wire, designed to catch light from multiple angles. On the concave back, the brand's heritage is preserved through a clear stamp reading 'RED EYE LURES EVIL EYE,' confirming its USA-made origin. The hardware is comprised of a secure split ring at the line tie and a clean treble hook attached via another split ring at the tail. Presenting in a 5/5 condition, the specimen shows a pristine reflective surface and intact paintwork. This vintage piece reflects a period of lure design where functional jewelry-like components were integrated directly into the body for visual effect.
