Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet, 3/4oz Red Devle fishing spoon #22615

Deeply stamped "DARDEVLET" and "DETROIT USA" on its reflective reverse, the metal body of this Eppinger classic showcases over a century of Michigan angling history. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) with a weight of 3/4oz (21g), it carries the celebrated Red Devle pattern, featuring a bold red finish interrupted by a sweeping cream-colored stripe. The crisp black devil head emblem is perfectly preserved on the white portion of the paint, a hallmark of the Eppinger brand since its basement beginnings in 1906. Identified by Product Code 22615, this lure is presented in 5/5 condition, maintaining a very clean appearance on both the painted and metallic surfaces. The proprietary oblong die-cut shape ensures a specific wobbling action when retrieved, a technical characteristic that has made the Dardevlet a staple for generations of anglers. It comes equipped with its original silver-colored treble hook, which remains securely attached by a strong split ring for reliable performance.
