1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, this casting spoon features the time-honored red and white diagonal stripes synonymous with the Eppinger legacy. Flipping the lure reveals a silver-toned concave back stamped with 'D.ARDEVLE SPINNE', identifying this specimen as product code 0644. Weighing exactly 3/16 oz (6 g), it is rigged with a traditional treble hook and a top swivel featuring a distinct brass-colored bead. The condition is a respectful 4/5, displaying minor enamel loss and small scratches from previous use, though the colors remain vibrant. Manufacturing for these lures has been centered in Michigan for decades, utilizing specific dies to create the signature oblong shape. A silver finish on the reverse was designed to catch and reflect light effectively in clear water environments. The hardware shows a slight darkening on the metal, typical for authentic vintage components of this era.
