A striking half-and-half finish of polished nickel and deep metallic blue defines the visual profile of this vintage casting spoon. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the metal body is stamped on the reverse with "DEVLE-DOG 7700 DETROIT USA," confirming its origin from the legendary Eppinger manufacturing plant. This specific color pattern, cataloged under product code 6072, is paired with a clean, silver-tone treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. The concave shape is a result of Eppinger's proprietary dies, a technique the company has perfected in Michigan for over a century. Every surface remains in unused condition, earning a 5/5 rating for this well-preserved specimen. Designed for casting and trolling, the lure relies on its structural weight and curvature to attract predators. The stamping remains crisp and legible against the polished backside, a signature detail for collectors of Detroit-era tackle.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
