The iconic red and white striped pattern on this 3/4oz (21g) casting spoon is the hallmark of Eppinger’s legendary design. Carrying the Product Code 4011, this 2 3/4" (7cm) Dardevle Dardevlet represents a quintessential piece of American fishing history. The front displays the famous red-white-red color scheme and the classic devil logo, while the reverse side reveals a copper base metal stamped with the "DARDEVLET", "DETROIT", and "U.S.A." markings. These stamps reflect the brand's deep-rooted heritage in Michigan, dating back to 1906. The hardware features a substantial treble hook attached via a robust split ring, built for reliable casting and retrieval. This specific specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved enamel and clear stampings. Designed with a specific concave surface, the spoon is meant for a steady wobbling motion when retrieved through the water. The warm copper-colored back is a thoughtful choice for anglers working in cloudier water where a darker reflection is often more effective than bright nickel.
