Museum Archive: Vintage Hofschneider Red Eye Junior, 2/5oz gold/green eyes fishing spoon #20747

Faceted green glass beads are securely wired into the 2 1/4" (5.5cm) gold body, serving as a visual trigger for following predators. The 2/5 oz (11g) frame carries a clear stamp on the back from the Hofschneider Corp of Rochester, NY, identifying it as the 'Red Eye Wiggler Jr.' Carrying product code 20747, the gold finish presents in 4/5 condition, showing light surface wear while maintaining its high-reflectivity. Construction of this specimen relies on a dual-treble configuration, with hooks positioned at both the head and the tail. Anglers traditionally favor these spoons for slow-speed presentations, particularly when targeting pike and perch in warmer conditions.
