Museum Archive: Eppinger ​Dardevle Devle Dog UV, 1/2oz Fire Tiger / Brass fishing spoon #13092

A weight of 1/2 oz (14 g) provides the necessary heft for casting accuracy and maintaining depth during a retrieve. The Dardevle Devle Dog UV features a striking Fire Tiger finish, where brilliant shades of orange, yellow, and green are segmented by sharp black vertical bars. When exposed to UV light, the lure reveals its modern tactical edge by glowing a bright green, a feature intended to enhance visibility in low-light conditions. Eppinger continues to manufacture these in Michigan using proprietary dies that create the signature oblong shape and deep concave surface, a design lineage dating back to Lou Eppinger’s 1906 Detroit origins. The brass backing adds a classic metallic flash that complements the painted side. Labeled with product code 13092, the specimen measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and comes fitted with a sharp treble hook and robust split ring. It is presented here in unused condition within its original black and red carded packaging.
