Two distinct finishes, nickel on one half and gold on the other, define the iconic look of this 3" (7.5 cm) spoon. Weighed at 1 oz (25 g), the heavy metal body is stamped with the manufacturer's name, Hofschneider, and the model name, Red Eye Wiggler, on the silver-toned side. These lures were specifically engineered for slow-speed presentations, often becoming a go-to choice for targeting summer pike and perch that are less active in the heat. The centerpiece of this design involves two faceted red glass beads, which are pinned through the metal to catch light and provide a visual trigger for stalking fish. This specific unit, listed under product code 11025, features a 4/5 condition rating with a well-maintained surface that reflects the quality of American manufacturing from its era. The original treble hooks are still attached at both the head and tail, secured by heavy-duty split rings.
