Museum Archive: Vintage Hofschneider Red Eye Wiggler, 1oz Steel with Red Eyes fishing spoon #3249

Glinting with two faceted red glass beads, the steel body of this classic spoon is designed to capture light even at depth. Stamped clearly on the concave surface with the manufacturer details from the Hofschneider corp., this 3" (7.5 cm) specimen represents a staple of USA-made vintage tackle. Weighing 1 oz (25 g), the Red Eye Wiggler, product code 3249, is built for a slow retrieve, allowing pike and perch to focus on those iconic eyes during the summer heat. The hardware is consistent with the era, featuring treble hooks at both the nose and tail for maximum coverage. This piece is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean steel finish that provides a stark contrast to its vibrant red accents.
