Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Red Eye Wiggler, 1oz Fluorescent Green / Red / White fishing spoon #5419

Fluorescent green transitioning into a bright chartreuse defines the upper face of this 1 oz (25 g) heavy spoon, making it a highly visible choice for stained waters. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm) in length, the lure features the signature oversized faceted red beads that gave the model its name. These eyes are securely fastened with metal wire, reflecting light at various angles during a retrieve to mimic a focal point for predators. Originally a Hofschneider creation before the design was acquired by Eppinger, this particular specimen carries product code 5419 and is finished with a clean, solid white underside for high-contrast visibility. The hardware includes a sturdy silver-tone treble hook and reliable split rings, suitable for the heavy tension of pike or large perch. Rated at 5/5, the painted surfaces remain vibrant and the metal components are bright, showing no signs of use. This USA-manufactured piece is built for techniques requiring a slower presentation, allowing the wide body to stay in the strike zone longer.
