Diagonal red and white stripes define the classic Red Devle pattern on this 3/16oz (6g) casting spoon. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5cm) in length, the specimen listed under product code 23028 features the recognizable black devil head logo centered on the white stripe. Turning the lure over reveals the stamped lettering "DARDEVLE MIDGET U.S.A." on the polished silver-toned back, confirming its Eppinger manufacturing heritage. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring securing a single treble hook at the trailing edge. This piece is in 5/5 condition, exhibiting only the lightest softening of the paint along the edges, which is typical for vintage spoons of this era and material. The teardrop shape and weight distribution are specifically balanced for casting in small streams or light tackle applications.
