A striking red and white enamel pattern identifies the face of this 3/4 oz (21 g) Dardevle Dardevlet, featuring the famous devil head logo centered on the diagonal stripe. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the spoon’s teardrop shape is a traditional choice for casting or trolling. Flipping the lure over reveals a clean, polished nickel back stamped with the name 'DARDEVLET' and the 'DEARBORN, MICH' location, a hallmark of Eppinger's manufacturing since moving from Detroit in 1959. The 3/4 OZ weight specification is also clearly embossed on the lower half. Regarding hardware, the spoon is equipped with a sharp treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring. With a condition rating of 5/5, the specimen maintains a highly reflective metallic finish and crisp paint lines. The tapered head includes a clean line-attachment hole, ready for a snap or direct tie. This specific model, product code 8879, represents the high-quality, USA-made standards the manufacturer has maintained for over a century.
