A classic Red Devle finish with a bold white diagonal stripe distinguishes this specimen, which remains a staple in any serious spoon collection. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the stamped nickel body bears the clear "DARDEVLE SPINNIE U.S.A." mark on its concave reverse side, confirming its authentic Eppinger heritage from Dearborn, Michigan. The face of the lure features the iconic black devil head logo, a symbol used since Lou Eppinger's early days to identify the genuine article. This particular 1/3 oz (9 g) lure, identified by Product Code 20493, is in 5/5 condition, showing a pristine painted surface and original, bright treble hardware. Built for casting, its density and aerodynamic shape are designed to reach distant targets where predatory fish hold. The precision-drilled hole at the head provides a clean attachment point for a snap swivel or direct line tie.
