Two faceted red beads are securely mounted into the spoon’s body to create the iconic 'eyes' that gave this Hofschneider classic its name. Weighing in at 1oz (25g) and measuring 3" (7.5cm) in length, this specimen is a heavy-duty option for anglers targeting predators like pike or large bass. The gold finish on the metal body reflects light effectively, while the deep red accents provide a clear strike target for fish. On the underside, the stamping 'RED EYE WIGGLER' and the Hofschneider Corp. manufacturing details from Rochester, N.Y. remain sharp and legible. This piece, labeled under product code 5565, is fitted with dual treble hooks attached by sturdy split rings. In a condition rated 5/5, the metallic surface retains its original luster and reflective quality. The spoon’s wide profile and concentrated weight allow for long casts and stable performance when trolling.
