Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Lildevle, 1/8oz Crystal (Silver Scale) fishing spoon #0335

Scaled texturing catches the light beautifully on this 1/8 oz (3.4 g) casting spoon, reflecting the classic craftsmanship we've come to expect from Eppinger. Measuring a compact 1 1/4" (3 cm), this Dardevle Lildevle in the Crystal (Silver Scale) finish is a versatile choice for panfish or light-tackle trout setups. Eppinger has been refining these designs in Michigan since Lou Eppinger started in his basement back in 1906, and that history shows in the solid construction of the 0335 model. The concave body is paired with a sharp treble hook, secured by a sturdy split ring, making it ready for the water. Its finish shows a subtle aging that gives it a true vintage character while remaining in 4/5 condition. Whether you are fishing clear streams or pressured ponds, the silver scale pattern provides a high-flash profile. This specific Lildevle remains a testament to why these USA-made lures were once trusted components in aviation survival kits; they are built for reliability and results.
