Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie, 1/3oz UV Glow in UV light, Fluorescent fishing spoon #3918

Five bold black dots contrast sharply against the vibrant fluorescent orange paint of this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) spoon. This Spinnie model, identified by product code 3918, weighs in at 1/3 oz (9 g) and features a specialized UV Glow finish intended to maintain high visibility in deeper or stained waters. Stamped clearly on the polished nickel reverse side are the 'DARDEVLE SPINNIE U.S.A.' markings, a hallmark of Eppinger's Michigan-based production since moving to Dearborn in 1959. The front face also displays the iconic devil head logo just above the split ring. This specimen is unused, retaining its original factory luster across the hardware and paint. The silver-toned treble hook remains sharp and properly seated via a heavy-duty split ring, while the top eyelet is cleanly punched for secure rigging.
