Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Weedless Dardevle, 1oz Red / White / Copper fishing spoon #4190

Weighted at a substantial 1oz (28g), the heavy gauge of this Eppinger classic allows for deep casting near the structure where big fish hide. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, this Weedless Dardevle—carrying product code 4190—features the unmistakable red and white striped pattern on its face. The reverse side reveals a bright copper back, complete with the iconic stamped 'devil head' logo that collectors look for. This specific specimen is rated 4/5, showing light paint scuffs and minor nicks on the face that speak to its time in a tackle box. It is equipped with a single hook and a functional wire weed guard designed for pulling through vegetation, finished with a tuft of red feathers that remain largely intact. The hardware shows some gentle surface oxidation, adding character to the metal components.
