Five red diamonds arranged against a vibrant yellow background define the iconic pattern of this particular specimen. It measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and carries a weight of 3/4 oz (21 g), making it a substantial choice for casting or trolling. Flip the lure over, and you'll find the classic "DARDEVLET" DETROIT U.S.A. stamp pressed into the gold-finished metal. The original silver-toned treble hook is securely attached via a sturdy split ring. The black devil head logo sits centered among the diamonds, a hallmark of Eppinger’s craftsmanship since Lou Eppinger began hand-making these in his Detroit basement over a century ago. Rated as condition 6, this specific item is unused and has been preserved with its finish and hardware completely intact. It is cataloged under product code 10816. The concave shape of the spoon provides its characteristic wobbling during a retrieve, a design so effective it was once even included in military aviation survival kits.
