Transitioning from a vibrant yellow at the top to a lush green near the tail, the finish on this casting spoon is designed to capture attention. Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, this Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 5400 UV features the legendary stamped devil head on its convex face. Under low-light conditions, the UV-reactive paint glows with an intense green luminosity, a modern technical twist on a design that uses proprietary dies synonymous with American craftsmanship. Identified by product code 12409, the lure is rigged with a robust treble hook attached via a split ring. The nickel finish on the reverse provides a classic flash to contrast with the bold UV-bright colors. This specific piece is in excellent 5/5 condition, maintaining the crispness of its factory paint and the integrity of its hardware. Eppinger has been producing these in Michigan since moving from Detroit in 1959, utilizing specific metal thicknesses to achieve the desired sinking rate.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
