Weighing in at a compact 3/16oz (6g), this specimen features the legendary Eppinger craftsmanship that has defined American tackle since 1906. The Mackerel/nickel finish takes on a striking neon character under blacklight, revealing the UV properties noted in the manufacturer’s specifications. The vibrant green base is overlaid with bold black stripes, a high-contrast pattern intended for casting near structures. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5cm), this Dardevle Midget weedless (Product Code 17699) is equipped with a dedicated wire guard to keep the hook clear of snagging vegetation. This lure is unused and remains preserved in its original black-and-red carded packaging. The concave metal body is precision-stamped, reflecting the proprietary dies Eppinger has utilized for generations in their Michigan facility.
