Vivid red and white stripes across the convex surface define this 3/4oz (21g) casting spoon from the legendary Eppinger line. Measuring exactly 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, this Weedless Dardevle Dardevlet, product code 12702, carries the classic devil head graphic stamped directly onto the white paint. Eppinger has been producing these in Michigan since 1906, and the heavy-gauge construction of this nickel-backed specimen is a testament to their manufacturing standards. This version is specifically built for heavy cover, featuring a dual-wire weed guard that protects the single hook from snagging on vegetation. A crimson feather tail is securely tied to the hook shank, providing a soft texture against the polished nickel interior. In its current 5/5 condition, the paint remains crisp and the metal surfaces retain their high-gloss shine. The original factory mounting hole at the narrow end is ready for a split ring, positioned to keep the lure steady during a slow retrieve through lily pads or timber.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
