Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz Red / White fishing spoon #0518

Weighing 1 oz (28 g), this substantial spoon is finished in a polished gold tone with a distinctive red stripe running down its length. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm), the stamped metal blade features the classic concave profile designed to create a heavy wobbling motion during a steady retrieve. This specimen, identified by product code 0518, remains unused and is still attached to its original Eppinger Mfg. Company retail card. The gold-tone treble hook is securely attached, showing no signs of wear. The packaging itself points to the brand's long history in Dearborn, Michigan, and features the iconic devil head logo. This larger profile lure is a staple for anglers targeting heavy predators like northern pike or muskellunge.
