Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Huskie Junior 700 series, 2oz nickel/red fishing spoon #23288

A distinctive wavy red-and-pink stripe cuts diagonally across the polished nickel surface of this hefty 2 oz (58 g) spoon. Identified as the Dardevle Huskie Junior 700 series (Product Code 23288), its robust 4 1/2" (11.5 cm) body is built for targeting large game fish through trolling or heavy-duty casting. The back of the lure carries the authentic stamped marking of Lou J. Eppinger from Detroit, Michigan, indicating its American manufacturing heritage. Equipped with a large, heavy-gauge treble hook, the hardware is secured by a stout split ring at the tail. The reflective nickel finish on the front remains quite clear, while the stamped back is bright and easily readable. With a condition rating of 4/5, this specimen serves as a well-preserved example of the heavier Eppinger lineup, retaining all the structural integrity expected of a vintage tool.
