Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Huskie Devle, 3 1/4oz Red / Ivory / Nickel fishing spoon #2472

A substantial weight of 3 1/4 oz (91 g) characterizes this heavy-duty spoon designed for larger predatory species. Measuring 5 1/2" (14 cm) in length, the lure features the iconic red and ivory striped pattern on the front face, backed by a clean nickel finish. This specimen is identified as product code 2472 and bears the classic Eppinger devil head logo stamped into the metal. The Eppinger Manufacturing Company has produced these lures in Michigan since 1906, and this particular packaging references their Dearborn facility which has been active since 1959. Constructed from heavy-gauge metal with a large, strong treble hook, it is suitable for deep casting or trolling applications. In clear water, the nickel-colored back provides a flash that complements the high-contrast stripes. The lure is unused and remains sealed in its original vintage carded blister pack. Rating: 5/5.
