Eppinger Dardevle Brass Spoons The Dardevle is the most iconic lure in fishing history. Since 1906, its unique "teardrop" shape and varying thickness have provided a wobbling, side-to-side action that predators cannot resist. Whether you are casting into a lily pad edge or trolling deep open water, the Dardevle’s flash and vibration are legendary. Unlike cheap steel imitations, genuine Dardevles are stamped from high-quality brass. This gives them the perfect weight-to-size ratio for long, accurate casts and ensures they will never rust, even after years in a damp tackle box. Size & Target Species Guide Weight Model Name Primary Target Species 3/16 oz Midget Panfish, Brook Trout, Smallmouth Bass 1/4 oz Spinnie Rainbow Trout, Walleye, Large Perch 2/5 oz Imp Bass, Pickerel, Large Trout 3/4 oz Dardevlet Northern Pike, Salmon, Big Bass 1 oz Dardevle Trophy Pike, Lake Trout, Chinook Salmon 2 oz Huskie Junior Muskie, Giant Northern Pike, Lake Trout Pro Tip: The "Dardevle Flutter" Don't just reel it in straight. Occasionally stop your retrieve for two seconds and let the spoon "flutter" toward the bottom on a semi-slack line. The spoon will tumble and flash like a dying minnow—this is almost always when a following Pike or Muskie will strike.
