Museum Archive: Vintage Red Eye Lures Red Eye Evil Eye, 3/16oz white/yellow/red eye fishing spoon #23463

Measuring exactly 3" (7.5cm) in length, this spoon features a vibrant chartreuse yellow face accented by two diagonal glitter stripes in forest green and burnt orange. A signature characteristic of Red Eye Lures, the prominent faceted red glass bead is secured through the body with a fine wire, providing a focal point that mimics a wounded prey's eye. This specific Red Eye Evil Eye, carrying product code 23463, weighs in at 3/16oz (6g) and is built on a stamped metal blank that remains in 5/5 condition. Turning the lure over reveals a clean, white-painted underside and the original "USA" stamp visible near the hook attachment. The hardware is comprised of a sturdy split ring at the nose and a single, sharp silver-tone hook attached via a second ring at the tail. Made in the USA, the construction reflects the quality manufacturing standards of the era.
