Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 5300 UV, 1/3oz Yellow / Orange / Nickel fishing spoon #10361

Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this specimen features a vibrant fluorescent gradient shifting from a bright yellow to a deep orange. This specific Eppinger lure carries the "DEVLE-DOG 5300 DETROIT U.S.A." stamp on its nickel back, an identifier of its manufacturing roots before the company relocated in 1959. Weighing in at 1/3oz (10g), the solid metal body is equipped with a sturdy treble hook secured by a heavy split ring. The front face is decorated with the classic black devil head logo, synonymous with the brand's long history in Michigan. Designed with UV Glow properties, the finish is intended to provide visibility in lower light or deeper water columns during casting or trolling. This specimen, identified by Product Code 10361, is unused and presents in exceptional condition. The nickel plating on the reverse side is bright, contrasting the high-visibility fluorescent paint on the convex side.
