Hammered metal surfaces on this Eppinger Dardevle Midget provide a distinct reflective quality, especially with the Hologram / Rainbow finish applied over the classic concave body. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) and weighing 3/16 oz (6 g), this specimen represents the smaller end of the lineup that Lou Eppinger began crafting in Detroit back in 1906. The lure carries product code 0021 and remains in 5/5 condition, showing the care taken in its preservation. Its teardrop shape is achieved through proprietary dies, a manufacturing tradition that moved with the company to Dearborn in 1959. This specific piece is rigged with a durable split ring and a standard treble hook. The design's utility was so well-regarded that the United States government once included similar Dardevle spoons in aviation survival kits.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
