Museum Archive: Vintage Hofschneider Red Eye Wiggler, 1oz copper/red eyes fishing spoon #19923

Weighing in at 1 oz (25 g), this Hofschneider classic features two prominent light-reflecting red glass eyes that set it apart from standard metal spoons. The copper body of this 3" (7.5 cm) specimen shows some honest character with localized oxidation that creates a unique tonal variety, consistent with a 3/5 condition rating. Designated as Product Code 19923 and manufactured in the USA, the Red Eye Wiggler is specifically constructed for a slow retrieve technique, making it a practical choice for targeting pike or perch in summer conditions. The concave side of the lure displays the original brand stamps, while the red faceted eyes are wired directly through the metal. Its hardware consists of two treble hooks mounted at opposite ends via metal rings to assist with hook-ups during casting or trolling.
