Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Red Eye Wiggler, 1oz Yellow / Orange / Nickel fishing spoon #1990

A vibrant Yellow and Orange color palette defines the front of this 1oz (25g) spoon, providing high visibility in various water conditions. This Eppinger Red Eye Wiggler, designated by product code 1990, carries the legacy of the Hofschneider design with its unmistakable faceted red glass beads. These "eyes" are securely wired through the 3" (7.5cm) metal body, a construction detail that has made this model a staple for pike anglers for decades. The reverse side features a polished nickel finish, offering a sharp contrast to the painted face. Found in 5/5 condition, the lure displays a clean, glossy surface and robust original hardware. Anglers typically utilize this weight for long-distance casting or slow-trolling when a larger profile is needed to trigger strikes. The heavy-duty treble hook is attached via a sturdy split ring, maintaining the structural integrity required for heavy freshwater predators.
