Gleaming in a polished gold finish, two faceted ruby-red beads are set directly into the metal body to serve as the signature high-visibility "eyes." This Hofschneider Red Eye Junior, designated by product code 19996, weighs 2/5 oz (11 g) and measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length. The classic oval spoon geometry is specifically intended for slow-retrieve techniques, helping the lure stay in the strike zone longer when targeting pike and perch. The hardware consists of sturdy split rings connecting a front-end barrel swivel and a sharp treble hook at the rear. Regarding its physical state, the lure shows well with a clean surface, earning a 4/5 condition rating. The distinctive mounting of the light-reflecting beads allows them to remain highly visible to predators even at minimal speeds.
