Vintage Hofschneider Red Eye Wiggler, 1oz nickel/blue eyes fishing spoon #20746

Weighing in at 1oz (25g), this hefty spoon's metal body is balanced by its most recognizable feature—the twin inset jewels. The nickel finish on this 3" (7.5cm) specimen is accented by two faceted blue glass eyes, which give the Red Eye Wiggler its namesake look and serve to catch light underwater. Produced in the USA by the Hofschneider Corp., the concave side of the lure features the stamped 'RED EYE WIGGLER' text along with the manufacturer's name and Rochester, N.Y. location. This design is a staple for pike and perch anglers, as the spoon's shape is specifically built to handle a very slow retrieval, which is often necessary when fish are lethargic in warmer water. The hardware, including the treble hook and integrated swivel, remains functional, and the overall surface is well-preserved with a 4/5 condition rating. Cataloged under product code 20746, this piece represents a classic era of American tackle manufacturing where visual attractors were integrated directly into the lure's structural frame.
