Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Weedless Dardevle, 1oz Yellow / Red / Brass fishing spoon #2456

Bright yellow paint with striking red flame-like patterns covers the front of this 1oz (28g) casting spoon. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm), this Eppinger Weedless Dardevle features the iconic devil head logo stamped near the top of the concave face. This specific model, identified by product code 2456, is built for heavy cover, utilizing a single hook protected by a twin-wire weed guard. Looking at the reverse side, the clean brass finish provides a classic metallic flash that contrasts with the bold painted front. The three-rivet construction is a testament to the manufacturing standards Lou Eppinger established in Michigan to ensure the lure's durability during casting. This specimen is in great shape, with a condition rating of 4/5. The paint remains vibrant across the entire oblong body, and the metal hardware shows only light signs of its vintage heritage. The wire guard remains properly aligned to deflect snagging debris.
