Copper-backed finishes like this one were a staple for Eppinger's Detroit-made lures, providing a distinct flash in varying light conditions. This 3/4oz (21g) Dardevlet, identified by product code 21026, showcases the time-honored Red Devle color scheme with its deep red exterior and crisp white center stripe. Upon the white stripe, the classic devil head graphic remains visible, a signature of the brand's Michigan roots. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the spoon’s reverse side features the "DARDEVLET DETROIT U.S." stamp, dating its production to the era before the company's 1959 relocation to Dearborn. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook and split rings that show light signs of use, earning it a solid 4/5 condition rating. Casting these spoons into cover or trolling along weed lines are standard techniques for this weight class. The paint exhibits minimal wear, and the copper reverse side provides a warm contrast to the bold top-side colors.
