Tipping the scales at a substantial 1 1/4 oz (35 g), this vintage spoon represents the heavy-casting capabilities that the Eppinger family perfected in Detroit. The high-polish Nickel finish on this 2 3/4" (7 cm) specimen creates a mirror-like surface designed to catch light even in deeper water columns. On the concave interior, the crisp 'ROK'T-DEVLET' and 'U.S.A.' stamps are clearly visible, showcasing the quality of the proprietary dies used by Eppinger. This lure, designated with product code 2505, is equipped with a sturdy silver-tone treble hook and split ring assembly. It remains in remarkable 5/5 condition, retaining its original brilliance and smooth surface throughout. The thick metal construction is a direct legacy of Lou Eppinger’s early 20th-century designs, intended to provide the necessary weight for reaching distant targets while maintaining its characteristic wobbling action.
