Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie, 1/3oz Frog/nickel fishing spoon #16684

Featuring a high-contrast frog pattern of yellow-ringed spots against a dark surface, this casting spoon highlights the classic design legacy of Eppinger. This specific Dardevle Spinnie, identified by product code 913, measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length and weighs 1/4 oz (7 g). The reverse side features a polished nickel back, providing a clean metallic flash during retrieval. As an unused specimen still contained in its original carded packaging, the paint and hardware remain in factory state. The lure is rigged with a silver treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail. Eppinger has maintained production in Michigan for over a century, and the "Made in the U.S.A." marking on the card confirms its domestic origin. This model is engineered for targeting trout, bass, and panfish using standard casting techniques.
