Weighing in at a delicate 3/32 oz (2.5 g), this vintage spoon represents the small-profile casting hardware tailored for trout and panfish. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length, the specimen features the iconic Red Devle color pattern, where a vibrant red enamel is split by a clean white stripe and accented with the distinct black devil head logo. On the underside, the polished nickel surface is clearly stamped with "DARDEVLE MIDGET U.S.A.," reflecting the manufacturer's deep-seated Michigan roots. The original hardware includes a sturdy silver-toned split ring and a sharp treble hook, both showing zero signs of use. Identified by product code 19269, the lure is in 5/5 condition, retaining a high-gloss finish and crisp graphic detailing without any visible wear. The concave design is built for stability during various retrieve speeds while casting in clear or stained water. A small, precision-punched line tie hole at the nose remains clear of any paint buildup or obstruction.
