Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Skeeter, 1/32oz nickel fishing spoon #23027

Polished to a high sheen, the nickel finish on this specimen reflects light with the clarity characteristic of Eppinger’s traditional metalwork. Weighing only 1/32 oz (1 g) and measuring 1" (2.3 cm) in length, this Dardevle Skeeter (Product Code 23027) is a classic choice for ultra-light casting applications. The convex face carries the "DARDEVLE SKEETER U.S.A." stamp, clearly visible against the silver-toned background. It is equipped with a distinct red treble hook, adding a splash of color to the tail end. Maintaining a 4/5 condition, the metal is smooth and the hardware remains securely attached. The compact profile is intended for delicate presentations when fishing for panfish or stream trout.
