Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 5300 UV, 1/3oz Red / Black / Nickel fishing spoon #13611

A vibrant red finish sets the stage for this 1/3 oz (10 g) spoon, which features classic black dots and the iconic devil head stamp. This Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 5300 UV, identified by product code 13611, measures exactly 2 inches (5 cm) in length. Built in the USA using proprietary dies, the oblong body has a distinct concave geometry and a nickel-finished back designed to catch light during a steady retrieve. The hardware consists of a sturdy silver-tone treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail. This specific specimen is unused, showing a pristine surface and sharp hook points. Anglers often turn to this UV-enhanced version to maintain visibility in deeper or stained water conditions where standard pigments might fade. Eppinger has maintained this specific design for decades, ensuring the weight-to-surface-area ratio remains consistent for reliable casting distance.
