Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Weedless Dardevle Dardevlet, 3/4oz Green / White / Nickel fishing spoon #9290

A vibrant green and white stripe pattern defines the face of this classic casting spoon. Identified as product code 9290, this Eppinger Weedless Dardevle Dardevlet tips the scales at 3/4oz (21g) and measures 2 3/4" (7.0 cm) in length. The front features the iconic devil head graphic stamped directly onto the center white stripe. Engineered for heavy cover, the weedless configuration consists of a sturdy single hook shielded by a spring-steel wire guard. A bunch of red feathers is bound to the hook shank, providing a distinct color contrast against the metal body. On the reverse, the spoon displays a polished nickel back with the 'DARDEVLE' and 'USA' stamps clearly legible near the hook attachment. This particular specimen is in 5/5 condition, with the paint and feathering remaining exceptionally well-preserved.
