Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie Copper Back, 1/3oz Frog / Copper fishing spoon #13009

Yellow-green crackle lines and yellow spots over a dark base create the distinctive Frog pattern on this Eppinger spoon. This specimen, identified by product code 13009, features a polished Copper Back finish on the reverse side, a choice traditionally favored for visibility in stained or tea-colored waters. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, the lure is stamped from durable metal into a classic teardrop shape with a deep concave profile. A weight of 1/4 oz (7 g) makes it a versatile option for light tackle fishing targeting species like bass, trout, or salmon. The lure is unused and remains in its original factory carded packaging, featuring the red and black devil logo associated with the brand's Dearborn, Michigan era. The treble hook is attached with a sturdy split ring and maintains its original factory sharpness. The finish on both the painted convex side and the plated reverse remains in pristine condition, showing the high-quality standards of USA-made tackle. The metal body tapers toward the top eyelet, designed for a clean presentation when tied directly to the line.
