Museum Archive: Vintage Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Osprey Notangle Spinner 2000, 3/16oz Frog spinning lure #21135

Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this spinner features the classic Eppinger craftsmanship often found in vintage American tackle. The teardrop blade is finished in a vibrant Frog pattern, characterized by a dark green base accented with yellow rings and black centers. Flipping the blade reveals a clean, polished silver surface stamped with "OSPREY 2000," a nod to Eppinger’s expanded lineup beyond their legendary Dardevle spoons. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (5.5 g), the lure is balanced by a conical silver-toned body and a single red bead spacer. A distinct design element is the red tubing covering the shank of the treble hook, which provides a concentrated strike point. This particular specimen, identified by product code 21135, remains in excellent preservation, earning a 5/5 rating. The "Notangle" designation reflects the brand's historical efforts to improve casting efficiency during an era when line twist was a significant hurdle for many casters.
