Weighing precisely 1/3 oz (9g), this Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie features a high-visibility Fluorescent Lime finish that transitions from a rich green at the top into a bright yellow belly. Under UV light, the entire body emits an intense green glow, a feature designed by Eppinger to maintain visibility in deeper or darker waters. The 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) spoon bears the iconic black devil face stamp, a hallmark of the Detroit company's heritage dating back to Lou Eppinger's basement workshop in 1906. Identified by product code 16390, this specimen is unused and remains attached to its original black and red cardboard packaging. The hardware is pristine, featuring a silver split ring and a sharp treble hook ready for the line. These lures are still manufactured in the USA using proprietary dies, preserving the classic concave shape that has made Dardevle a staple in tackle boxes and even military aviation survival kits for generations.
