A weight of 3/4 oz (21 g) provides the necessary heft for long-distance casting with this Dardevlet Feathered Weedless Crystal. This Eppinger classic, identified by product code 18062, showcases the textured hammered finish in the distinctive "Crystal" gold pattern. Measuring exactly 2 3/4" (7 cm), the spoon's body carries the stamped "DARDEVLET" and "USA" markings on its concave side, confirming its origins from the Michigan-based manufacturer founded by Lou Eppinger. Attached to the rear is a specialized single hook, integrated with a wire weed guard designed for fishing through pads and vegetation. The hook is accented with bright red feathers wrapped in matching thread, a detail that contrasts sharply against the golden metal. In terms of condition, this piece is a pristine 5/5, exhibiting a clean surface and fully functional hardware. The rivets used to secure the weedless mechanism are tightly set, reflecting the durable American craftsmanship the brand has maintained for over a century. The intricate facets of the hammered texture are designed to catch light from multiple angles, a physical attribute that remains sharp on this well-preserved specimen.
