Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Troll Devle, 1 1/3oz Red Devle fishing spoon #21002

Weighing in at 1 1/3 oz (40g), this heavy-gauge spoon belongs to the legendary lineage of Eppinger tackle. The Red Devle paint scheme on this Dardevle Troll Devle is striking, featuring a clean white stripe and the classic devil head graphic. At a length of 4 1/2" (11.5cm), the lure appears well-preserved with a 5/5 condition rating. Its polished nickel backside bears the distinct 'TROLL-DEVLE BY DEARBORN, MI' stamp, placing its manufacture after the company's move from Detroit in 1959. This particular model, cataloged under product code 21002, comes equipped with a large, silver-tone treble hook designed for targeting heavy predatory fish. The deep concave belly and tapering tail represent the specific geometry Eppinger has refined for trolling and deep-water presentations.
