Two faceted red glass beads are securely set into the nickel-plated body of this classic American spoon. Stamped on the concave reverse with "Red Eye Junior Hofschneider Corp. Rochester N.Y. USA," this specimen showcases the craftsmanship of the Rochester-based maker. Weighing 1/4 oz (6.5 g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the compact profile is designed to accommodate a slow retrieval, which is particularly effective for tempting sluggish pike or perch in heavy summer cover. The condition is a solid 4/5, displaying light surface wear on the inner spoon face while the polished nickel exterior retains its original shine. Each red bead acts as a focal point for predators, even when the lure is moved slowly through the water. This 13314 model comes rigged with a functional swivel on the lead eye and a sharp treble hook attached via a robust split ring.
