Museum Archive: Eppinger ​Dardevle Devle Dog Glow, 1/2oz fishing spoon #13013

A vibrant red-orange hue bleeds into a luminescent body on this 1/2 oz (14 g) Dardevle Devle Dog, specifically designed for low-light or stained water conditions. Produced by Eppinger, a legendary American manufacturer with roots in Detroit and Dearborn since 1906, this specific model carries the product code 13013. The spoon measures 2 1/4 inches (5.5 cm) and remains in its original packaging, featuring the distinctive green "GLOWS in the Dark" circular sticker. This lure is unused, appearing exactly as it did when it left the Michigan factory. Its concave profile is balanced for casting or trolling, paired with a clean, silver-toned treble hook attached by a split ring. Eppinger's proprietary dies were used to stamp the metal, ensuring the precise shape that anglers have relied on for over a century. The glow finish is particularly useful when targeting fish in deeper water columns where natural light begins to fade, providing a visible silhouette alongside the high-contrast orange tip. The hardware is in pristine state, reflecting its status as a collector-grade piece of tackle history.
