Fluorescent yellow paint covers the concave body of this classic spoon, accented by five bright orange-red diamonds stamped down the center. Positioned near the attachment point is the iconic black devil head logo, a hallmark of Eppinger’s Detroit heritage. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), this Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7300 UV is designed with a specialized finish that glows under ultraviolet light, aiding visibility in deep or stained water. Identified by product code 6988, the specimen features a polished nickel back and is rigged with a robust silver-tone treble hook and split ring. This specific lure is in 5/5 condition, showing a pristine surface and sharp hardware. While frequently used for casting toward structure, its weight and shape also make it a reliable choice for trolling. The American-made craftsmanship is evident in the precise stampings and the durable paint job that remains vibrant across the entire profile.
