Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz Red Devle fishing spoon #19465

Weighing in at 1oz (28g), this hefty Eppinger spoon is a classic tool for reaching deep structure or casting against a headwind. The 3 1/2" (9cm) body features the legendary Red Devle color scheme, consisting of a polished silver-tone center stripe between two vibrant red bands. Centered on the front is the crisp, black stamp of the iconic devil head logo. On the concave reverse, the metal is clearly embossed with the Dearborn, Michigan, origin and the weight, marking its heritage from the post-1959 production era. Equipped with a sturdy, silver-finish treble hook, the hardware remains strong and functional. The condition is a solid 5/5, with the paint and metal showing incredible preservation. This specimen, identified by product code 19465, showcases the heavy-gauge construction that made Lou Eppinger’s designs a mainstay in tackle boxes for pike and other large predators.
