Museum Archive: Vintage Hofschneider Weedless Red Eye Wiggler, 1oz brass/red eyes fishing spoon #20384

Weighing exactly 1 oz (25 g), the brass body of this Hofschneider spoon displays the classic profile that has made the brand a staple in vintage tackle boxes. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm) in length, this Weedless Red Eye Wiggler (Product Code 20384) features the iconic pair of faceted red glass eyes that catch and reflect light from multiple angles. On the concave side, the stamp for The Hofschneider Corp. of Rochester, N.Y. is clearly visible, marking its authentic American origin. This particular specimen is fitted with a specialized weedless single hook and wire guard, specifically designed for casting into lily pads or heavy timber where predators linger. The brass finish has aged gracefully, showing only minor surface character consistent with a 4/5 condition rating. A heavy-duty swivel is attached to the nose, ensuring the hardware is ready for the tension of a heavy strike.
