A classic scale-pattern finish in black and white defines the visual appeal of this Michigan-born casting spoon. Weighing in at 2 oz (58g), this Huskie Junior model is a substantial piece of metal, measuring 4 1/2" (11.5cm) in length. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint over its nickel base. Note the iconic "devil head" logo stamped clearly onto the surface, a mark of authenticity from the Eppinger company. Eppinger has been using proprietary dies to strike these shapes since the early 1900s, ensuring that the heavy-gauge metal maintains its distinct oblong profile. The hardware features a large, durable treble hook attached via a heavy-duty split ring, designed to handle the torque of a large predator. Labeled under product code 0919, this specific color scheme—black and white over a nickel back—is a strategic choice for visibility across varying water clarities. The manufacturing roots in Dearborn, Michigan, are evident in the robust construction of the heavy blank.
