The "Five of Diamonds" pattern stands out clearly on this 3 1/2" (9cm) spoon. Featuring the distinctive Eppinger devil head logo, this Weedless Dardevle (Product Code 4204) is a prime example of Detroit's fishing history. A substantial weight of 1oz (28g) makes it well-suited for long casts or reaching deeper holding areas in heavy water. The hardware is remarkably well-preserved, showcasing a clean single hook accompanied by a vibrant bunch of red feathers. A wire weed guard arches over the hook point, allowing the lure to slide through thick vegetation where big pike or bass often hide. On the underside, the unpainted brass back is clearly stamped with the weight, reflecting the straightforward manufacturing Eppinger has utilized for decades. This particular specimen is in exceptional 5/5 condition, with the yellow and red enamel finish remaining bright across the entire oblong body.
