Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Red Eye Wiggler, 1oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #7334

Measuring 3" (7.5cm) in length, the teardrop profile of this spoon is built for the slow, methodical retrieve often necessary for summer pike and perch. The polished Nickel / Red finish maintains a mirror-like shine, which works in tandem with the faceted red jewel eyes that give this Red Eye Wiggler its iconic name. Stamped clearly on the convex side alongside the eyes with the manufacturer name Eppinger, this particular specimen carries the Product Code 7334 and originated in the USA. Weighing in at 1oz (25g), the substantial metal body is designed for deep-water casting or trolling near structure. The condition is excellent, rated 5/5, with the original brilliance fully intact on the plated surface. Hardware consists of heavy-duty split rings and two treble hooks, including a body-mounted hook positioned near the eyes to catch fish striking at the lure’s head.
