Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Red Eye Wiggler, 1oz red white fishing spoon #18262

Red and white diagonal stripes define the enamel finish of this 1oz (25g) spoon, a design created to catch the eye of sluggish predators during slow retrieves. Cataloged as product code 18262, this Eppinger Red Eye Wiggler features the iconic pair of faceted red glass beads wired directly through the metal body. These reflective 'eyes' provide a distinct visual trigger, which is especially effective for pike and perch when visibility is key. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm), the lure comes equipped with its original hardware, including a rear treble hook shielded by a vintage red plastic sleeve. The reverse side is stamped with the model name over a white base, showing light surface scratches and minor edge wear that place the specimen at a 4/5 condition rating. A robust split ring at the nose completes the assembly of this USA-made classic.
