Weighing in at a substantial 1oz (28g), this heavy-gauge spoon is engineered for long-distance casting and deep-water presentation. The Eppinger Dardevle, carrying product code 3135, measures 3 1/2" (9cm) in length and features the iconic stamped devil head logo on its metallic surface. This specific specimen is finished in Black / White / Nickel, presented in its original vintage retail packaging with a pink and white card reflecting the brand's Dearborn, Michigan manufacturing era. The lure remains unused and maintains a condition rating of 6. Equipped with a large, factory-rigged treble hook, it is constructed from the proprietary dies that Lou Eppinger perfected over a century ago. The card back includes the Eppinger Manufacturing Company address on Schaefer Highway, a detail significant to collectors of Michigan-made tackle. The heavy metal construction ensures the lure stays deep in the strike zone during a steady retrieve.
