Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Red Eye Evil Eye, 1/3oz Black / Green / Yellow Eye fishing spoon #5087

Shimmering green glitter stripes set against a deep black finish give this trolling spoon its striking visual profile. Identified by Eppinger as the Red Eye Evil Eye under product code 5087, this specimen remains in 5/5 condition and appears ready for the water with its original hardware intact. The 1/3 oz (9 g) body stretches 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, a design manufactured in the USA specifically for trolling. On the top face, a prominent yellow bead is inset near the nose, providing a clear focal point against the dark paint. The reverse side features a polished silver surface, which is cleanly marked with a red and black target-style eye near the hook. Heavy-duty split rings are used to secure a single large hook at the tail and provide a reliable connection point at the head.
