Museum Archive: Vintage Red Eye Lures Red Eye Evil Eye, 1/3oz yellow/green/red eye fishing spoon #23258

A vibrant chartreuse yellow base serves as the canvas for this 3 1/2" (9 cm) Red Eye Evil Eye spoon, a staple of American tackle history produced by Red Eye Lures in the USA. Identified by product code 23258, the lure's most striking feature is the single, faceted red glass bead secured near the head, which is designed to catch and refract light. Running diagonally across the middle is a lime green stripe featuring a textured, scale-like holographic pattern that adds visual depth to the finish. Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), the construction consists of a slightly curved metal body paired with a sturdy single hook and heavy-duty split rings. This specimen earns a condition rating of 5/5, showing the clean lines and bright pigments expected from well-preserved vintage equipment. The reverse side is finished in a matching solid yellow to maintain a consistent profile when casting or trolling.
