Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Lildevle, 1/8oz Red Devle fishing spoon #24053

A classic Red Devle finish defines this spoon, featuring the iconic white diagonal stripe against a deep red background. Measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) and weighing in at 1/8 oz (3.4 g), this Lildevle is a classic choice for light tackle setups and panfish. The stamped devil face emblem on the front is the hallmark of Eppinger craftsmanship, a Detroit-born tradition started by Lou Eppinger in 1906. This specific specimen, listed under product code 24053, features a sturdy treble hook attached via a durable split ring. The paint shows clean, vibrant colors and the hardware is fully functional, resulting in a condition rating of 5/5. The concave metal body is shaped using the same proprietary USA-made dies Eppinger has utilized for decades to produce the signature wobbling motion that made these spoons a staple in aviation survival kits during wartime.
