Measuring exactly 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), this Cop-E-Cat model features the iconic concave teardrop shape that Lou Eppinger perfected in Michigan over a century ago. The finish transitions from a cream-white base to a vibrant fluorescent orange edge, punctuated by the classic black devil head logo stamped near the top. Under low-light conditions or UV exposure, the specialized glow properties reveal a dual-tone luminescence where the white side radiates green and the orange section turns a deep, glowing pink. This specimen, cataloged under product code 6376, maintains a condition rating of 5/5, exhibiting a clean surface and its original high-quality hardware. At a weight of 1/3 oz (10 g), the spoon is built for versatile casting and a rhythmic wobbling action when retrieved at a slow pace. The Dardevle brand carries deep historical weight, having provided lures for aviation survival kits during wartime, and the 7300 Glow series continues that legacy of utility and design. The metal body and sturdy treble hook remain in excellent form, ready for deep-water or stained-water applications where its glow-in-the-dark properties provide a distinct visual presence.
