Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Red Eye Evil Eye, 2/5oz Nickel / Blue / Red Eye fishing spoon #6769

Nickel plating serves as the base for a bold blue flash on this 3" (7.5 cm) trolling spoon. Crafted in the USA by Eppinger, the Red Eye Evil Eye features its characteristic faceted red glass bead secured through the metal body. With a weight of 2/5 oz (12 g), the lure is built for consistent depth control during trolling sessions. The product code 6769 identifies this specific model, which comes equipped with a single hook and heavy-duty split rings. You’ll find the manufacturer stamps clearly visible on the reverse side of the spoon's polished surface. Rated at a condition of 4/5, the piece displays some character from its time in a tackle box while remaining fully functional and aesthetically sharp. This particular specimen highlights the era when Eppinger integrated the "Evil Eye" line into their legendary catalog of spoons.
