A vibrant fluorescent red finish coats the outer edges of this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon, providing a high-contrast profile designed for visibility in various water clarities. The central textured strip is adorned with red glitter and bears the unmistakable Dardevle devil-head stamp, a hallmark of Eppinger’s American craftsmanship since Lou Eppinger began production in Michigan over a century ago. Weighing a solid 1/2 oz (14 g), the Devle Dog 5400 is constructed with a thicker metal body than standard thin spoons, finished with a bright nickel-plated reverse side. This specific model, identified by product code 10211, features a unique fluorescent property where the outer red border emits an orange-red glow under low-light conditions. The hardware includes a robust silver-tone treble hook secured by a durable split ring. Maintaining a condition rating of 5/5, the lure appears exceptionally well-preserved. These lures are still pressed using Eppinger's proprietary dies in Dearborn, Michigan, ensuring the precise oblong shape and concave surface required for their signature movement through the water.
