Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7400, 1/2oz Orange / Red / Black / Nickel fishing spoon #13056

A weight of 1/2 oz (14 g) makes this Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7400, bearing product code 13056, a reliable tool for casting across wide distances. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the spoon's face is painted with a bright orange finish, bisected by a sharp red diagonal stripe and bordered by black dots. This specific "Cop-E-Cat" variant features a polished nickel back, a signature of the Eppinger brand which has been manufacturing in Michigan for over a century. This lure is unused and rates as a 6, still housed in its original black and red carded packaging. The silver treble hook is attached with a strong split ring, providing the durability needed for trout, salmon, or bass. The back of the packaging identifies this as the "Imp" model with the identifier 7427, manufactured in the USA. Every detail on the metal body is crisp, from the stamped logo to the vibrant, unchipped paint.
