Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet UV, 3/4oz Fire Tiger fishing spoon #7211

Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), this stamped metal spoon features a saturated Fire Tiger finish designed for high visibility. This specific Dardevlet UV model, listed under Product Code 7211, measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and carries the stamped devil head logo near the top split ring. Manufactured in the USA by Eppinger, the lure's construction includes the signature concave shape that has defined the brand since Lou Eppinger's early days in Detroit. The fluorescent paint is reactive to UV light, a modern evolution of the classic spoon designed to stand out in deep or stained water. Its hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, all maintaining a condition rating of 5/5. Collectors will note the crisp transition between the green, yellow, and orange gradients on the face, contrasted by bold black tiger stripes. The reverse side remains clean, reflecting the standard of production from the Dearborn facility.
