Museum Archive: Eppinger Red Eye Wiggler, 1/4oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #17369

Five bold red diamonds set against a yellow base give this Eppinger casting spoon its signature look. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the Red Eye Wiggler (Product Code 17369) is constructed from quarter-hard brass, ensuring a level of durability meant to last through years of use. This specimen arrives in unused condition, still housed in its original black and red carded packaging. A pair of inset red glass 'strike focus' eyes provides a high-contrast visual trigger, a functional design element synonymous with the Eppinger brand. The reverse side features a brass back, and the lure is rigged with a sturdy treble hook. Made in the USA at the Dearborn, Michigan facility, the piece represents over a century of lure-making tradition.
