Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie , 1/3oz Frog fishing spoon #17693

Measured at a length of 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this Dardevle Spinnie is finished in a classic Frog pattern consisting of yellow circles and crackle over a dark green base. Identified by product code 17693, the lure weighs 1/3 oz (9 g) and features a factory-rigged treble hook attached via a robust split ring. Produced by Eppinger in the USA, this specimen showcases a Nickel Back, which provides high visibility when casting in clear water. The lure is unused, earning a condition rating of 6, and remains secured within its original hanging card packaging. Each spoon is formed using Eppinger’s proprietary dies, maintaining the specific concave geometry that has made the brand a Michigan staple since Lou Eppinger started the company in 1906.
