Vivid fluorescent red paint coats the front of this 1/4 oz (7 g) spoon, immediately catching the eye of any angler sorting through a classic tackle box. This Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 5200 UV, product code 6773, measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, showcases the iconic devil head stamp near the line tie. Under UV light, the finish reveals its true specialized nature, glowing intensely to provide visibility in deep water or low-light conditions. The specimen shows light signs of use with minor surface marks on the paint, resulting in a solid 4/5 condition rating. It features a nickel-plated concave back and a sharp treble hook secured with a sturdy split ring. Eppinger has utilized these proprietary dies in the USA for decades, ensuring the specific concave shape that produces its signature wobble during a slow retrieve. The contrast between the bright red face and the reflective nickel reverse provides visual flash for targeting predatory fish across various water clarities.
