A solid brass body weighing 1 oz (28 g) provides the necessary mass for casting across wide rivers or trolling deep lake structures. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm), this Eppinger Dardevle carries the legendary 'Five of Diamonds' pattern, featuring a vibrant yellow finish decorated with five sharp red diamonds. The black devil head logo is centered prominently on the face, while the back reveals the heritage 'DARDEVLE DETROIT USA' stamp, a reference to the company's roots before their 1959 relocation. The concave profile is engineered for a distinct wobbling action during retrieval, designed to mimic forage fish. Equipped with a large, clean treble hook and a strong split ring, the lure remains functional for any tackle box. This well-maintained specimen, identified by Product Code 18065, carries a condition rating of 4/5.
