Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Midget, 3/16oz Frog fishing spoon #17705

Weighing 3/16 oz (5 g), this casting spoon features a distinctive Frog pattern with bright yellow spots contrasted against a dark green crackle finish. Eppinger produces these Dardevle Midget lures in the USA, and this specimen, product code 17705, is unused. The polished Nickel back sits behind a front surface stamped with the iconic devil head logo. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.8 cm), the lure is fitted with a single silver-tone treble hook attached via a split ring. The packaging card indicates its suitability for trout, bass, salmon, and panfish. Its signature oblong, concave profile is achieved using the manufacturer's proprietary dies.
