Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Midget, 3/16oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #15017

A total weight of 3/16 oz (6 g) makes this specific casting spoon a versatile choice for light-tackle situations. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length, the front face displays the famous red and white striped enamel finish, which shows minor surface marks and light wear on the white section that speak to its age. The iconic devil head graphic is still visible in the center of the white stripe. On the reverse, the nickel plating remains bright, featuring the deep 'DARDEVLE MIDGET U.S.A.' stamp that collectors look for. This Eppinger specimen, listed under product code 15017, comes rigged with its original treble hook and split ring hardware. The concave body shape was perfected by Lou Eppinger in Detroit using proprietary dies to achieve a specific underwater movement during a steady retrieve. Given its well-preserved state, this lure holds a condition rating of 5/5. A single line tie hole at the nose completes the classic teardrop profile of this American-made classic.
