Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz fishing spoon #9499

A solid 1oz (28g) weight gives this Eppinger spoon the heft needed for deep-water casting or trolling for larger predators. Sporting the legendary red-and-white striped paint job, the face of the lure displays the iconic black devil head graphic. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, this specimen carries the product code 9499 and showcases the craftsmanship that has defined the Michigan-based company since its inception. On the concave, polished metal backside, the "DARDEVLE BY EPPINGER MADE IN USA" stamp is crisp and perfectly legible. The hardware consists of a robust, vintage treble hook that remains securely attached via a heavy split ring. Given its 5/5 condition rating, the painted finish remains remarkably clean, preserving the high-contrast pattern designed to remain visible across various depths. The spoon's thick metal construction and wide profile are built for durability when targeting pike or muskie.
