Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 5500, 3/4oz Chartreuse / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #2814

Chartreuse paint covers the top of this 3/4oz (21g) spoon, accented by several distinct red dots that provide a high-visibility profile. Stamped clearly into the nickel-finished back are the words "DEVLE DOG 5500 DETROIT U.S.A.," anchoring its heritage to Lou Eppinger’s Michigan-based legacy. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm), this specific model, product code 2814, features the iconic devil head logo on the front face. The concave profile of the body is engineered to produce a wobbling motion that mimics distressed baitfish when retrieved at a slow pace. The physical condition is 5/5, showing remarkably clean surfaces and sharp stamping. The lure is rigged with robust hardware, including two split rings and a large, silver-toned treble hook. This color combination is a classic choice for anglers working in stained water or under overcast skies.
