Eppinger Devle Fly Trolling Rig, Nickel White Purple, Bucktail, #24438

Purple and white bucktail hair provides the primary visual profile for this specialized trolling rig, a design that bridges the gap between a traditional spoon and a fly. Produced by Lou J. Eppinger Mfg. Co. out of Dearborn, Michigan, the Devle Fly utilizes a free-spinning metal blade on an axis to generate flash while towed. This specimen, identified by product code 24438, features a nickel-finished blade paired with a white and purple dressed hook. It is designed for deep-water trolling applications, frequently used in conjunction with a flasher or attractor when targeting lake trout and other salmonids. Found in its original green and blue card packaging, this lure remains unused, earning a condition rating of 6. The assembly includes a single hook integrated into the bucktail dressing to maintain a streamlined profile during towing. A painted eye detail on the lead portion of the fly offers a specific strike point positioned behind the rotating nickel blade.
