Museum Archive: Eppinger Devle Fly, orange fishing #22137

Vibrant orange fibers mixed with shimmering silver tinsel define the profile of this vintage streamer lure. Produced under the Genuine Devle Head Brand in Dearborn, Michigan, the Eppinger Devle Fly with product code 22137 represents a classic era of American tackle manufacturing. This specimen remains unused, preserved in its original green and blue carded packaging from the Eppinger Mfg. Co. facility on Schaefer Highway. The construction features a solid black head with a contrasting white-and-black painted eye, designed to trail behind the small silver spinner component included in the top section of the blister. This orange colorway provides high visibility in the water column, while the silver tinsel integrated into the body mimics the flash of natural prey fish.
