Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet Feathered Weedless, 3/4oz Red Devle fishing spoon #23061

Red with a distinct white center stripe, the finish on this 2 3/4" (7 cm) specimen shows a soft character consistent with a 4/5 condition rating. At 3/4 oz (21 g), the weight provides the heft needed for long, stable casts toward structure. Identified by product code 23061, the spoon features the iconic Eppinger "Devle" stamp clearly visible within the white paint. The single hook is outfitted with a wire weedguard and a vibrant red feather dressing to facilitate fishing in heavier weeds. Made in the USA, the metal body shows light wear near the eyelet and along the red sections, typical for a vintage lure that has spent a little time in a tackle box. The underside reveals a polished metal surface and the sturdy mechanical assembly of the weedless hook system.
