Weighing in at 1/4oz (6.5g), this compact casting spoon features two signature light-reflecting red beads that serve as a primary visual attractant. Produced by Hofschneider Corp. in Rochester, N.Y., the Red Eye Junior measures 1 3/4" (4.5cm) and showcases a polished nickel finish. The concave side of the lure is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's name and original location, identifying its USA-made heritage. This specific 5/5 condition specimen retains its original luster, appearing unused with its hardware, including the treble hook and integrated barrel swivel, fully intact. Its design allows for the slow-speed presentation often required for pike and perch when fishing conditions call for a deliberate retrieve. The red eyes are secured with wire through the nickel body, ensuring they remain a fixed focal point during use. Product code 13148.
