Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7300 UV, 1/3oz Yellow / Green fishing spoon #7282

Fluorescent yellow paint serves as the base for four distinct green diamond patterns on this Eppinger classic. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and weighing 1/3oz (10g), the specimen is cataloged under product code 7282. The iconic black devil head logo is stamped clearly on the front face, marking it as a genuine product from the Michigan-based workshop. Designed with a UV-reactive finish, this Cop-E-Cat 7300 glows significantly under UV light, providing a high-visibility profile for fishing in low-light conditions. The hardware consists of a single large treble hook attached via a split ring at the tail, ready for casting. Rated in 5/5 condition, the finish remains bright and the markings are sharp. These spoons were traditionally crafted using proprietary dies to ensure the specific curvature that provides its signature wobbling motion during a retrieve.
