Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle UV, 1oz Orange Red / Black / Nickel fishing spoon #9289

Polka dots in deep black contrast against a vibrant orange-red background on this Eppinger-made spoon. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing 1 oz (28 g), this lure carries the product code 9289. The design includes a concave body with a brand logo stamped clearly near the top eyelet. Turning the lure over reveals a polished nickel back that adds high-visibility flash when retrieved. Under UV light, the orange paint reacts with a strong glow, a feature designed for better visibility in stained or deep waters. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a sharp, silver-tone treble hook. This specimen is in top condition, rated 5/5, showing a clean finish on both the painted and metal surfaces.
