Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Midget, 3/16oz Red Devle fishing spoon #20790

A vibrant Red Devle finish defines this 1 1/2" (3.5cm) spoon, showcasing the classic diagonal white stripe that became a hallmark of the Eppinger brand. Weighing in at 3/16oz (6g), this specific specimen shows light signs of use with a small patch of paint wear on the front face, earning a solid 4/5 condition rating for a tackle box veteran. Flipping the lure reveals a polished back clearly stamped with "DARDEVLE MIDGET U.S.A.", identifying it as a product of the Michigan-based manufacturing dies that have been used since Lou Eppinger moved the company from Detroit to Dearborn in 1959. This 20790 model comes rigged with a original-style treble hook and split ring, ready for casting or light trolling in clear water where the nickel-colored back provides a natural flash. The teardrop shape of the metal is carefully contoured to mimic baitfish movement without the need for complex retrieval techniques.
