Five distinct black dots scattered across the vibrant hot red surface immediately distinguish this vintage spoon. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 7700, product code 9532, is a classic piece of American tackle history. Under UV light, the finish transforms to a brilliant glowing orange, a specialized feature designed for visibility in deep water or low-light conditions. The face features the iconic devil head stamp, a trademark Lou Eppinger established in Detroit shortly after founding the company in 1906. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, retaining its bold coloration and original treble hook hardware. The nickel-finished back provides a bright contrast to the painted face, a hallmark of the manufacturing dies used by the brand for over a century. Constructed for casting or trolling, the heavy metal body and split-ring attachment reflect the durable build quality that made these Michigan-made lures a staple in aviation survival kits during wartime.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
