Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7300 UV, 1/3oz Yellow / Orange / Nickel fishing spoon #6377

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), this spoon carries the necessary heft for deep-water casting or steady trolling. The Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7300 UV features a striking honeycomb scale pattern with vibrant oranges and yellows over a high-shine nickel base. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the oblong body reflects the classic American design that Lou Eppinger first pioneered in Michigan. When exposed to UV light, the central yellow section transitions into a bright green glow, providing high visibility in stained or deep waters. This specific specimen, identified by product code 6377, is in 5/5 condition, retaining the clean and bright finish of a well-preserved lure. It is equipped with a sharp treble hook attached via a robust split ring. The front face is marked with the iconic Dardevle stamp, ensuring its place as a genuine piece of Detroit angling history.
