Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this compact spoon demonstrates the precision craftsmanship Eppinger has refined since Lou Eppinger began hand-making lures in 1906. This Dardevle Devle-Dog 5200 UV, identified by product code 17576, features a striking nickel and red color scheme. While it appears as a solid, matte red in daylight, the specialized UV coating reacts intensely under ultraviolet light, providing high visibility in deep or stained water. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), the spoon's distinct oblong shape and concave surface are designed for casting or trolling. The front is stamped with the iconic devil head logo, a symbol of the Michigan-based brand's heritage. The hardware consists of a sharp, silver-finished treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. This particular specimen is unused, retaining its original factory finish, and stands at a condition rating of 6.
