A solid copper finish defines this classic spoon, a material choice that seasoned anglers often reach for when fishing stained or overcast waters. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length and weighing 3/4oz (21g), this Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet, identified by product code 1219, showcases the timeless American craftsmanship that Lou Eppinger popularized starting in his Detroit basement in 1906. The teardrop-shaped body features a concave interior designed to produce a steady wobbling movement during a slow retrieve. On the reverse side, the metal is stamped with the "DARDEVLET" name and "MADE IN USA," authenticating its heritage. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring at the base. Showing some light surface wear and minor spotting across the copper face, this particular specimen remains in well-preserved 4/5 condition. This weight makes it a versatile choice for long-distance casting or steady trolling for predatory species.
