Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Flutter-Chuck, 1/4oz Nickel / Yellow / Green fishing spoon #2942

Green and yellow holographic scales catch the light across the convex face of this 3 1/4" (8 cm) trolling spoon. Stamped clearly on the polished nickel back is the 'Flutter-Chuck' name alongside its Detroit, USA origin, a nod to the Eppinger company's roots that began in Lou Eppinger’s basement in 1906. This specific specimen, identified by product code 2942, weighs 1/4 oz (8 g) and utilizes a thinner metal stock than the traditional Dardevle to suit specific trolling applications. The hardware consists of a single split ring at the tail attached to a silver-tone treble hook. With a condition rating of 5/5, the lure displays a clean, reflective nickel reverse and fully intact tape on the front. The contrasting yellow and green hues provide a distinct visual profile against the metallic flash when moving through the water column.
