Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet, 3/4oz fishing spoon #13975

A weight of 3/4 oz (21 g) allows this classic spoon to maintain its presence in the water column whether you are casting from shore or trolling. The 2 3/4" (7 cm) body is finished in the signature red and white striped pattern, featuring the recognizable black devil head logo printed on the white center band. Identified as product code 13975, the back of the lure is stamped "DARDEVLET DETROIT U.S.A.", noting its heritage from the original Eppinger location before the 1959 move. Observing the physical condition, the front face has noticeable paint chips and scattered loss, while the metal on the reverse side shows typical surface dulling, leading to a 3/5 rating. It comes equipped with a large treble hook secured by a split ring, providing the strength required for landing heavy pike and salmon. Every mark on the paint tells a story of a lure that was built to be fished hard.
