Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Weedless Dardevle Dardevlet , 3/4oz Fluorescent Yellow / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #2285

Fluorescent yellow paint with bold red dots decorates the face of this vintage spoon, which features the classic devil head logo. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing 3/4 oz (21 g), this Weedless Dardevle Dardevlet carries the product code 2285 and is designed for heavy cover. The back side has a clean nickel finish where the manufacturer and weight are clearly stamped into the metal. This 4/5 condition specimen utilizes a single hook shielded by a wire weed guard and is accented with striking red feathers. Lou Eppinger’s Detroit-born design is evidenced by the sturdy construction, specifically intended for casting into lily pads and submerged brush. The finish remains bright and saturated, showing only minor age-related surface marks on the edges and the weed guard hardware.
