Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Huskie Devle, 3 1/4oz Red / Ivory / Nickel fishing spoon #2471

Scaling in at a substantial 3 1/4 oz (94g), this heavyweight spoon is built for serious deep-water casting or trolling for large predators. The Huskie Devle, identified by product code 2471, features a classic nickel-plated finish accented by a bold red wedge at the nose—a color pattern designed for high visibility and contrast in varying light conditions. Measuring 5 1/2" (14 cm) in length, its broad, concave body is a hallmark of the Eppinger manufacturing standard. The hardware is comprised of a heavy-duty treble hook attached via a robust split ring, specifically gauged for the rigors of musky and pike fishing. This specimen is presented in its original red and white blister pack, confirming its status as an unused item. The card backing proudly displays the Eppinger Manufacturing Company's Dearborn, Michigan address, providing a tangible link to the brand's American heritage. Every curve of the metal is stamped with the iconic devil head logo, a mark of authenticity that has defined these lures for over a century.
