Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Huskie Devle, 3 1/4oz Black / Ivory / Nickel fishing spoon #2560

Weighing in at a substantial 3 1/4 oz (91 g), this heavyweight casting spoon is built for the largest freshwater predators. Measuring a full 5 1/2" (14 cm), the Huskie Devle features the iconic split-face pattern in high-contrast Black and Ivory, matched with a polished Nickel back. This specific specimen, identified by product code 2560, remains unused in its original factory blister pack. The heavy-gauge metal blade is stamped twice with the classic devil head logo—once near the line tie and again on the lower body—ensuring its authenticity as a genuine Eppinger product. Produced at the company’s long-standing facility in Dearborn, Michigan, the packaging includes the original address at 6340 Schaefer Highway. The lure is equipped with a heavy-duty treble hook and robust split rings, clearly designed for the structural demands of musky or trophy pike fishing. Because Eppinger uses proprietary dies, the deep concave belly of the spoon is distinct and perfectly formed. A vintage price sticker on the reverse of the card further anchors this piece in the timeline of mid-century tackle history.
