Striking red borders flank a crisp white center stripe on the convex front of this 3 1/2" (9cm) Eppinger specimen. Flip it over to find a warm copper finish stamped with the 'DARDEVLE DETROIT, U.S.A.' mark, a detail that reflects the brand's early manufacturing history before the company relocated to Dearborn in 1959. This specific Dardevle, cataloged under product code 1472, carries a weight of 1oz (28g), providing the density needed for long casts and steady retrieves through deeper structures. The trademark devil head logo is clearly visible on the white paint, and the hardware remains robust. Its condition is excellent, earning a solid 5/5 rating for its well-maintained finish and structural integrity. Every curve of the metal body is formed by proprietary dies, ensuring the genuine performance characteristics that have defined American-made Eppinger lures for over a century.
