Glistening with a polished gold finish, the spoon body measures exactly 3" (7.5 cm) in length. This heavy-weight 1 oz (28 g) lure features the iconic faceted red glass eyes that give the Red Eye Wiggler its name, designed to catch light when fished at slower speeds. Found in its original vintage packaging from the Scotch Game Call Co. era in Oakfield, N.Y., the specimen represents a transition in the Hofschneider brand's manufacturing lineage. The carding displays the product code 2442 and identifies this as model 1R, a size specifically recommended for targeting Northern Pike, Muskie, and large Walleye. The metal surfaces remain in unused condition, preserved behind the original plastic bubble with the factory-attached treble hook still sharp. An original Pamida store tag is still affixed to the upper right corner, documenting its retail journey. Built for both casting and trolling applications, the weight and model information is stamped clearly on the front of the yellow and red display card.
