Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Notangle 2, 3/16oz White / Red / Blue / Pink / Black spinning lure #0198

Stamped clearly into the metal on the back of the teardrop blade are the identifiers NOTANGLE #2 and 4200. This Eppinger Dardevle Notangle 2, cataloged as product code 0198, measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and features a wire frame construction intended to manage line twist. The blade sports a gradient finish transitioning from blue to white and pink, punctuated by a series of distinct black dots. A silver-finished conical body provides a casting weight of 3/16 oz (6 g), complemented by a small brass bead and a translucent red bead for visual contrast. At the rear, the treble hook is dressed with white feathers, which adds a soft textural element to the lure's profile. Looking at the crispness of the paint and the lack of wear on the hardware, the condition of this specimen is rated 5/5. This specific inline design reflects Eppinger’s long-standing Michigan manufacturing heritage, integrating a swivel directly into the front loop of the wire harness.
