Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie, 1/3oz Red Devil/Nickel fishing spoon #16689

A polished nickel back provides a stark, reflective contrast to the traditional red-and-white striped face of this Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie. Identified by product code 16689, this specimen is the 'Midget' model weighing 3/16 oz (5 g). Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, it is a versatile choice for targeting panfish, trout, and bass, adhering to the quality standards Lou Eppinger established in Michigan over a century ago. The spoon is fitted with a standard treble hook and remains attached to its original retail carding, which features the brand's classic devil graphic. The nickel-finished reverse is specifically intended to generate flash in clear water conditions during a steady retrieve. This lure is unused, showing no signs of wear, and is rated in condition 6.
