Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 5300 UV, 1/3oz Red / Black / Nickel fishing spoon #14425

Five bold black dots contrast sharply against the fluorescent orange-red face of this classic casting spoon. Identified by product code 14425, this Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 5300 UV measures 2" (5 cm) and weighs 1/3 oz (10 g). The front displays the famous black devil head stamp, a nod to Lou Eppinger’s legacy that began in Detroit in 1906. While the face is highly visible, the back features a clean nickel finish for a high-flash profile. This particular specimen is unused, remaining in top condition. Designed for enhanced visibility in various water conditions, the UV-reactive finish glows brightly under ultraviolet light. The hardware consists of a silver-tone treble hook connected by a sturdy split ring at the tail, with a single line-tie hole at the nose.
