Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie Weedless, 1/3oz Red White Chunk fishing spoon #20204

A nickel-plated back provides a high-contrast flash against the 'Red White Chunk' painted front of this Dardevle Spinnie Weedless. Cataloged under product code 20204, this specimen weighs 1/3 oz (9 g) and measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length. The weedless hardware features a single hook protected by a wire guard, specifically designed for casting into heavy vegetation or submerged timber where predators wait. Eppinger has maintained production in the USA since 1906, moving operations to Dearborn, Michigan, in 1959, where they continue to use proprietary dies for stamping their spoons. This lure is unused and remains in its original carded packaging, showing the vibrant red finish and white lightning bolt pattern without any signs of wear. The concave shape is precision-stamped to ensure the weight distribution meets historical specifications for casting distance and stability.
