Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7300, 1/3oz Yellow / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #10359

Fluorescent yellow paint covers the convex side of this spoon, designed to stand out in a variety of water depths. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), this Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7300 carries the 10359 product code. The finish features bold red dots over a yellow base that is both fluorescent and UV-reactive, creating a bright green glow under ultraviolet light as seen in the dark. A nickel-plated back provides the necessary flash to complement the paint. This specific shape, achieved through Eppinger's proprietary manufacturing dies in Michigan, produces a distinct wobbling action during retrieval. The lure is in 4/5 condition, with the paint and the stamped devil-head logo remaining sharp and clear. It maintains its original hardware, including a silver-tone treble hook and split ring.
