Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Midget, 3/16oz Hologram / Rainbow fishing spoon #0021

The Eppinger Dardevle Midget (product code 0021) is a quintessential piece of American angling history. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5cm) and weighing 3/16oz (6g), this compact spoon delivers the signature erratic wobbling action that Lou Eppinger perfected in Detroit over a century ago. This specific specimen features a striking Hologram / Rainbow finish over a hammered metal surface, designed to maximize light refraction and mimic the shimmer of distressed baitfish. The reverse side boasts a polished nickel finish, making it a particularly effective choice for clear water conditions. Proudly made in the USA using proprietary dies, this Midget model is in excellent condition. It remains a versatile choice for a slow retrieve, where its concave shape allows for the fluttering movement that has made the Dardevle one of the most respected names in tackle boxes since 1906.
