Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet Feathered Weedless, 3/4oz Bright Orange / Black fishing spoon #0276

Bright orange paint covers the body of this classic spoon, accented by bold black dots that create a high-contrast pattern for varying water conditions. Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g), the Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet Feathered Weedless is constructed for long casts and reaching into the structure where predators hide. The inclusion of a wire weed guard and a red feathered hook on product code 0276 allows for retrieval through pads and timber without snagging as easily as a standard treble. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm) in length, the spoon features the iconic devil head stamp, a symbol of the company's manufacturing history that began in Detroit in 1906. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, maintaining a vibrant finish and clean hardware. The concave oblong shape is precisely formed using Eppinger’s proprietary dies to ensure the weight is distributed for stability during a steady retrieve.
