Museum Archive: Eppinger Weedless Dardevle Spinnie UV, 1/3oz 70 Electric Lime (N) fishing spoon #23018

Nickel plating on the back of this 1/4 oz (7 g) spoon provides a high-flash contrast to the vibrant lime-to-yellow gradient on the face. This Dardevle Spinnie, designated by product code 970, features the signature stamped metal construction that has defined Eppinger lures since Lou Eppinger began production in 1906. Measuring approximately 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), the specimen is equipped with a clean treble hook and shows the trademark devil head logo printed on the front. The packaging indicates its origin from the Dearborn, Michigan factory, a site the company has occupied since 1959. This specific lure is unused and remains secured in its original retail carding.
