Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz FireTiger fishing spoon #3776

Bright FireTiger coloration creates a high-visibility profile on this 1oz (28g) casting spoon. The front face transitions through vibrant shades of orange, yellow, and green, punctuated by sharp black vertical slashes and the iconic logo stamp. Flip the lure over to find a polished brass finish, where the weight is cleanly stamped into the metal—a hallmark of the proprietary dies Eppinger has used since their operations moved to Dearborn, Michigan, in 1959. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm), the spoon’s distinct concave shape is designed for a steady retrieve during casting or trolling. The hardware consists of a robust silver-tone treble hook secured by a split ring. This specimen, identified by product code 3776, maintains an exceptionally clean finish, meriting a 5/5 rating.
