Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Midget UV, 3/16oz Chartreuse fishing spoon #15132

At 3/16 oz (6 g), the lightweight body of this spoon is a quintessential example of Eppinger’s American-made craftsmanship. Finished in a vibrant chartreuse base with deep green diamond accents, the Dardevle Midget UV (product code 15132) is specifically engineered for high visibility. As evidenced in the visual documentation, the UV coating reacts intensely under ultraviolet light, a feature intended for deeper or stained waters. The 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) spoon retains the signature concave geometry developed by Lou Eppinger over a century ago in Detroit. This particular specimen is unused, preserved in its original retail packaging with the hardware and paint in excellent state. Stamped with the legendary devil head logo, the lure features a high-quality treble hook and split ring consistent with the brand's long-standing production standards in Michigan. The proprietary die-struck curve is designed to produce a steady wobbling movement during a slow retrieve.
