Museum Archive: Vintage Hofschneider Weedless Red Eye Muskie , 2 1/4oz Bronze (Brass) fishing spoon #10850

Featuring a classic bronze brass finish, this heavy spoon weighs in at 2 1/4 oz (65g). This USA-made Weedless Red Eye Muskie by Hofschneider, identified by product code 10850, measures a substantial 4 3/4" (12cm) in length. The construction centers on a wide metal body accented by two prominent, faceted red glass beads that reflect light to draw attention in the water. Designed specifically for weedless applications, the specimen features a single integrated hook protected by a wire guard to facilitate fishing through dense vegetation. The metal surface displays a natural aging consistent with a 4/5 condition rating, maintaining its structural integrity and distinct aesthetic. Its design is tailored for slow-speed presentations, allowing the glass eyes to remain visible to predators during the retrieve. A sturdy metal ring is attached at the leading edge for secure line connection.
