Museum Archive: Vintage Hofschneider Red Eye Wiggler, 1oz Gold / Red fishing spoon #10928

Two faceted red glass beads are securely set into the 3" (7.5cm) golden spoon body, giving this Hofschneider classic its iconic look. Carrying the product code 10928, this specific specimen weighs in at a substantial 1oz (25g), which is ideal for deep casting or trolling techniques. The front of the lure features a high-polish gold finish designed to reflect light, while the reverse side reveals a more matte texture where the manufacturer’s branding is stamped. You can clearly read the engraving for "RED EYE WIGGLER" and "THE HOFSCHNEIDER CORP. ROCHESTER, N.Y." on the back of the metal plate. For hardware, it utilizes two stout treble hooks attached via split rings at opposite ends of the spoon. This particular lure remains in great shape with only light signs of shelf wear and minor age marks on the metal, resulting in a 4/5 condition rating. Its heavy-gauge construction is specifically suited for slower presentations when targeting predators like pike or large bass.
