Five black dots are strikingly arranged across the vibrant red face of this 3/16 oz (6 g) spoon. Flipping the 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) metal body over reveals the "DARDEVLE MIDGET U.S.A." stamp deeply pressed into the brass back, reflecting the quality control Eppinger maintained since moving operations to Dearborn in 1959. This particular specimen, listed under product code 3860, retains its glossy finish and comes equipped with a sturdy split ring and treble hook. The brass-colored back is a thoughtful design element for fishing in cloudy water, providing a different flash than silver counterparts. Regarding its physical state, the lure shows very minimal signs of use and is rated at 5/5.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
