Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), this spoon is designed with a fixed wire guard to facilitate weedless presentation in heavy cover. Large, faceted red beads are pinned through the nickel-plated body, serving as high-visibility 'eyes' to attract pike and perch. This Eppinger specimen measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and carries the product code 7904, showcasing the classic Michigan-made construction collectors look for. The wide, curved body is engineered for a slow retrieve, making it an effective tool when fish are less active in the summer heat. It remains in 5/5 condition, showing a clean, reflective surface and secure hardware. A single hook is mounted at the rear, shielded by the tensioned wire guard for fishing through reeds and lily pads.
