Mounted with two faceted red beads that catch the light, this Eppinger Red Eye Junior represents a clever era of visual triggers in lure design. The nickel-plated body measures 5 cm (2") and provides a high-contrast flash. It is stamped with "RED EYE SPINNING LURE," identifying its heritage as a classic American "spoon" intended for the slow retrieves favored by pike and perch. Weighing in at 11 g (2/5 oz), the specimen includes a nose-mounted swivel and a tail-end treble hook, both connected via sturdy split rings. Identified by product code 20390, the lure exhibits a very clean 4/5 condition, maintaining its reflective shine and secure wire-wrapped eye accents.
