A springy wire weed guard protects the single hook of this specimen, making it a specialized tool for casting into heavy lily pads or timber. Stamped clearly into the polished nickel concave back are the "DARDEVLE SPINNIE U.S.A." marks, a hallmark of the Eppinger company's long manufacturing history in Michigan. This 1/3oz (9g) spoon features the traditional diagonal split color pattern in high-contrast black and white, complete with the recognizable devil head logo printed on the white half. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, the lure remains in top-tier condition, rated 5/5, with no visible wear to the paint or the hardware. The assembly includes a sturdy metal rivet holding the weed guard in place and a clean attachment point for the hook. Identified by product code 5876, the "Spinnie" size is a versatile choice for anglers targeting bass or pickerel in snag-prone areas where a standard treble-hook spoon would struggle. The reverse side shows the bright, reflective nickel finish that provides flash beneath the water’s surface.
