Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7400 UV, 1/2oz Fire tiger fishing spoon #20692

Weighing exactly 1/2 oz. (14 g), this Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7400 UV features a brilliant Fire Tiger pattern with a vibrant gradient from orange to green and bold black stripes. The 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) spoon is built with a solid brass back, a material choice that provides substantial heft for casting and trolling. This specimen, assigned product code 20692, arrives in its original packaging and is unused. The face is stamped with the classic Eppinger devil logo, a mark of authenticity for the Michigan-based manufacturer that has been producing lures in the USA since 1906. A sturdy treble hook is attached via a heavy-duty split ring to the tail. The packaging reflects the 7458 catalog number, noting its specific "Imp" designation within the Cop-E-Cat lineup.
