Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Red Eye junior UV, 1/2oz Yellow / Orange / White / Red Eyes fishing spoon #12855

Faceted red beads serve as high-visibility strike points on this classic spoon, which displays a vivid yellow and orange color scheme on its upper surface. Crafted by Eppinger in the USA, the Red Eye junior UV (Product Code 12855) is weighted at 1/2 oz (13 g) and measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm). The white belly of the lure is treated with a UV-reactive finish that illuminates under dark water conditions, a detail crucial for attracting pike and perch in low-light environments. Equipped with sharp treble hooks at both the nose and tail, the hardware remains bright and secure. A condition rating of 5/5 reflects the well-preserved state of this specimen. The wide body allows for the exceptionally slow retrieve often needed when summer temperatures slow down the activity of predatory fish.
