Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat, 1/2oz Fluorescent Green / Red fishing spoon #0165

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14g), this Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat features the iconic five-diamond pattern in red against a vibrant fluorescent green body. Measured at 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the spoon carries the unmistakable "Devil" logo at its center, a hallmark of Lou Eppinger’s legacy that began in Detroit back in 1906. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring holding a sharp treble hook, suited for standard casting or trolling techniques. The finish on this specific specimen, cataloged under product code 0165, remains bright and provides high visibility in various water conditions. Its concave surface is engineered for a distinct wobbling action during a steady retrieve. Manufactured in the USA using proprietary dies, the metal body shows minor cosmetic wear from age, earning a respectful condition rating of 4/5.
