A compact 3/16oz (6g) profile defines this weedless spoon, designed for navigating submerged structure where traditional treble hooks might snag. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm), the Dardevle Midget features a Mackerel finish consisting of a neon green base and bold black stripes. Under UV light, the green pigmentation provides a strong phosphorescent glow, aiding visibility in darker environments. This specimen, identified by product code 17372, remains on its original factory carding from Eppinger’s Dearborn, Michigan facility. The hardware setup utilizes a single hook protected by a wire weed guard, a specialized configuration for casting into heavy cover or timber. As a condition 6 item, the lure is unused. The spoon's body is stamped using the manufacturer's proprietary dies, ensuring the specific weight distribution and curves of the original design are preserved.
