Polished copper reflects a warm, metallic glow across the concave body of this Eppinger classic. Weighing 1 oz (28 g) and measuring 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) in length, this Dardevle Feathered Weedless (Product Code 0241) is a purpose-built tool for dense structure. The reverse side bears the Eppinger stamp, tracing its origins back to Lou Eppinger’s 1906 Detroit beginnings. Designed with a specific shape to create a wobbling action during retrieval, the lure is equipped with a single hook protected by dual wire weed guards. These guards allow the spoon to navigate through vegetation where standard trebles would snag. A cluster of red feathers tied to the hook shank provides a visual contrast against the bright copper plating. This specimen shows a very clean finish, warranting a 5/5 condition rating. While the company has grown significantly since its move to Dearborn in 1959, the core construction of this American-made spoon remains a staple for those fishing in heavy cover.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
