Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7400, 1/2oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #10210

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) with a total length of 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the classic Five of Diamonds pattern on this Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7400 is a staple for any serious tackle collection. This specific specimen, identified by Product Code 10210, features a UV Glow/Fluorescent finish that remains highly visible even in deeper or stained water. The iconic devil head logo is centered cleanly on the yellow concave surface, flanked by five sharp red diamonds. In 5/5 condition, the lure retains its bright factory finish and is equipped with original, high-quality hardware including a stout split ring and treble hook. Eppinger has manufactured these spoons in Michigan since 1906, utilizing proprietary dies to ensure the specific weight and balance required for its signature wobbling displacement. While the standard Five of Diamonds is legendary, this fluorescent version provides an added technical advantage for low-light casting or trolling. The metal construction reflects the American-made durability that has kept these lures in survival kits and tackle boxes for over a century.
