Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Red Eye Evil Eye, 1/3oz Silver / Red Eye fishing spoon #4918

Measured at 3 1/2" (9 cm), the elongated silver body of this trolling spoon features a bold pink fishbone pattern along its convex side. This Eppinger Red Eye Evil Eye, cataloged under product code 4918, weighs a solid 1/3 oz (9 g) and displays the characteristic hardware that made these lures a staple for Great Lakes anglers. The signature red faceted eye bead is securely mounted near the line tie, paired with a painted target eye on the back for added visual contrast. Crafted in the USA, the metal maintains a high-quality finish with a condition rating of 4/5, showing only light signs of age. The lure is rigged with a single large hook attached via a sturdy split ring, designed for steady trolling depths.
