Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog, 1/3oz Bright Yellow / Red fishing spoon #0267

Weighing in at 1/3oz (10g), this Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog features a high-visibility Bright Yellow finish accented by five bold Red dots. Measuring 2" (5cm), the metal body carries the classic concave design that has defined the brand since Lou Eppinger began crafting lures in his Detroit basement back in 1906. The surface retains a vibrant luster, and the characteristic black devil head logo remains sharp near the split ring. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 0267, represents a staple in American tackle history, known for its distinct wobbling action during a slow retrieve. The hardware, including the treble hook, appears well-maintained, contributing to its excellent 5/5 condition rating. It is a genuine piece of Dearborn, Michigan heritage, reflecting the same quality that once earned these spoons a spot in military aviation survival kits. The weight and balance of the 1/3oz (10g) frame make it a versatile choice for various casting conditions.
