Museum Archive: Vintage Hofschneider Red Eye Wiggler, 1oz gold fishing spoon #22123

Faceted red glass eyes, positioned to catch and refract light even in deeper water, define the character of this classic metal spoon. Stamped clearly on the reverse side is the "RED EYE WIGGLER" name alongside the Hofschneider Corp. mark from Rochester, N.Y. Measuring 3" (7.5cm) and weighing 1oz (25g), this gold-finished specimen, identified by product code 22123, is built for heavy casting or trolling. The polished gold surface is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a brilliant shine across its entire length. Its hardware configuration includes a top-mounted double hook resting between the glass eyes and a traditional treble hook at the trailing edge. A brass barrel swivel is attached to the nose, allowing for a secure connection to your leader. The design excels during slow retrieves, often used to target pike or large perch when activity slows down.
