Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Rok’t Dardevle, 1 3/4oz Clown fishing spoon #19915

Bold fluorescent dots in a vivid orange-red pop against the chartreuse yellow face of this 3 1/2" (9cm) casting spoon. This specific specimen, the Rok’t Dardevle from Eppinger (Product Code 19915), carries the classic "Clown" pattern, a mainstay for targeting pike and muskies in varying light conditions. Weighing a heavy 1 3/4 oz (50g), the lure is constructed from thick gauge metal designed for deep presentations and long-distance casting. On the reverse side, the polished silver surface is clearly stamped with "DARDEVLE DEARBORN MI.", placing its origin in the Michigan facility where the brand has operated since 1959. The hardware includes a large, bronzed treble hook secured to the tail, ready for the strike of a heavy predator. Condition is a solid 4/5, with the paint retaining its original luster and the iconic red devil head logo remaining crisp and well-defined. The concave profile is a hallmark of the Eppinger design, providing a signature wobbling motion as it moves through the water column.
