Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Flutter-Chuck, 1/4oz White / Fluorescent Green fishing spoon #0284

A vibrant fluorescent green edge defines the profile of this slender casting spoon, providing high visibility for hunting predators in varied light. Weighing 1/4 oz (8 g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm), this Eppinger Dardevle Flutter-Chuck represents a specialized evolution of the classic spoon designs Lou Eppinger first crafted in Detroit in 1906. This specific item, identified by product code 0284, features a clean white center that transitions into a neon perimeter. The iconic devil-head logo is clearly stamped into the metal, maintaining the brand's long-standing heritage of Michigan-made tackle. The Flutter-Chuck is constructed to offer a distinct sink rate compared to heavier casting spoons, making it a staple for anglers targeting trout or salmon with a slower presentation. Its hardware includes a robust, dark-finished single hook secured by a sturdy split ring for reliable performance. This specimen is well-preserved with a condition rating of 4/5, showing a bright, intact finish. The polished metallic backside provides a contrasting flash to the bold White and Fluorescent Green top-side paint.
