Painted in the iconic red and white diagonal stripe pattern, this 1oz (28g) spoon represents a quintessential piece of American tackle history from Eppinger. The front face is characterized by the classic black devil head logo, while the reverse side reveals a stamped copper finish clearly marked with 'DARDEVLE' and 'MADE IN USA.' Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, the heavy-gauge metal body is equipped with a single large treble hook attached via a split ring, making it a robust choice for casting or trolling. Identified by product code 5871, the lure maintains its structural integrity and visual appeal, earning a condition rating of 4/5 with only minor signs of age. For anglers working in stained water, the warm reflection from the copper backing provides a distinct visual contrast against the high-visibility stripes on the concave side.
