Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Huskie Junior, 2oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #3539

Measuring a full 4 1/2" (11.5cm) in length, this Dardevle Huskie Junior is a substantial piece of casting or trolling hardware. The classic Red / White / Nickel finish remains one of the most recognizable patterns in the fishing world, providing high contrast against the water. This specimen, identified by product code 3539, features the iconic devil head stamp on the concave nickel-plated side, a hallmark of Eppinger’s production in Dearborn, Michigan. At 2 oz (58g), the heavy gauge metal provides the necessary heft for reaching deep into the water column or casting long distances. The lure is equipped with a large, strong treble hook suited for heavy-hitting freshwater predators. This particular lure is unused and remains housed in its original red and black blister pack, showing the Eppinger Mfg. Company address in Michigan.
