Copper-toned throughout, this classic metal spoon bears the iconic devil head stamp that has identified Eppinger quality for over a century. This specific specimen is a Dardevle Spinnie, identified by product code 0628. It measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length and weighs 1/3 oz (9 g), offering a compact profile for specialized casting. The hardware remains robust and the finish is well-preserved, earning a solid 4/5 rating from a collector's standpoint. Eppinger, manufacturing out of Dearborn, Michigan, since 1959, utilizes proprietary dies to ensure the weight distribution of the blank matches Lou Eppinger's original specifications. The lure is rigged with a traditional treble hook via a split ring, with a top eyelet designed for a direct tie or snap. Because of its solid copper finish, this particular lure is a strategic choice for casting in stained or cloudy water, where the warm metallic flash is most visible to fish.
