Striking red diamond patterns set against a vibrant yellow enamel characterize this classic piece of American tackle history. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 5300 (Product Code 13363) remains a versatile casting choice for a variety of freshwater predators. The rear face of the lure features a clear, deep stamp indicating its origin in Detroit, U.S.A., a significant detail as the company moved to Dearborn in 1959. It comes equipped with a sturdy, silver-toned treble hook and a clean brass back. The "Five of Diamonds" pattern is a legendary color scheme, often favored by pike hunters for its high visibility. Looking closely at the finish, the paint remains incredibly crisp and the metal is bright, earning this specimen a solid 5/5 rating. The Devle Dog design utilizes the manufacturing proprietary dies that Eppinger has refined since 1906, ensuring the specific spoon shape is maintained for consistent performance during a slow retrieve.
