Polished nickel plating covers the 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body of this Eppinger Red Eye Wiggler, a design that has remained a staple for pike and perch anglers for decades. The standout feature consists of two faceted red beads secured by wire loops, which act as light-reflecting eyes to catch a predator's attention during a slow retrieve. On the concave side, the metal is clearly stamped with the "RED EYE JR" identifier, confirming its heritage and US-based manufacturing. This 1/2 oz (13 g) spoon is equipped with two treble hooks and shows no signs of wear, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Collectors will appreciate the pristine reflective finish on this specimen, cataloged under product code 14699.
