Museum Archive: Eppinger ​Dardevle Devle-Dog UV, 1/2oz Fire Tiger fishing spoon #17446

At a weight of 1/2 oz (14 g), the Dardevle Devle-Dog UV provides enough mass for long, accurate casts into promising pockets of water. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 17446, is unused and remains in its original Eppinger packaging. The Fire Tiger finish features a classic gradient of green, yellow, and orange, overlaid with dark vertical tiger bars. As shown in the secondary imagery, the paint is UV-reactive, emitting a strong green luminescence that increases visibility in low-light or stained water conditions. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the spoon retains the signature concave shape produced by the company’s proprietary dies in Dearborn, Michigan. The face of the lure is stamped with the recognizable brand markings and the Devle-Dog name. For rigging, it features a heavy-duty split ring connected to a sharp, silver-finished treble hook. This combination of traditional American craftsmanship and modern UV technology makes it a versatile tool for various casting and trolling techniques.
