Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 5200 UV, 1/4oz fishing spoon #7452

Glowing vividly under UV light, this 1 1/2" (4 cm) spoon showcases a high-visibility fluorescent yellow finish accented with sharp green diamond patterns. This specific specimen, identified by product code 7452, features the iconic black devil head stamp that has marked Eppinger's legendary American-made designs for over a century. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the Devle Dog 5200 UV is constructed on a proprietary die-stamped metal body designed for casting and trolling applications. The lure remains in unused condition, maintaining the crisp factory finish and original hardware quality expected from the Dearborn, Michigan facility. Its specialized fluorescent coating is engineered to provide visual presence in low-light or stained water conditions. This tackle box staple reflects the long-standing manufacturing tradition started by Lou Eppinger in 1906.
