Museum Archive: Vintage Red Eye Lures The Perfect Minnow UV, 1/2oz Green / Black / White Pearl fishing spoon #5962

Weighing in at a solid 1/2oz (14g), this casting spoon from Red Eye Lures showcases a distinctive Green / Black / White Pearl color scheme. The 3" (7.5cm) body is characterized by a precise hexagonal honeycomb scale pattern that transitions from a dark back into a vibrant lime green flank. True to its name, the specimen features a large, iconic red eye that serves as a high-contrast focal point near the nose. Manufactured in the USA, the construction of the Red Eye Lures The Perfect Minnow UV includes heavy-duty split rings and a robust treble hook, reflecting the brand’s commitment to durable hardware. Under UV light, the fluorescent properties of the paint become evident, as the green scales emit a powerful glow intended for deep-water or low-visibility scenarios. This particular piece, cataloged under product code 5962, remains in excellent 5/5 condition, with the paint and finish retaining their original luster. The white pearl belly provides a subtle contrast to the more aggressive fluorescent tones used on the upper half of the spoon.
