Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet Klicker, 3/4oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #11062

Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the oblong body of this spoon is finished in the legendary high-contrast red and white striped pattern. This 3/4 oz (21 g) casting tool, listed under product code 11062, features the distinctive black devil head logo stamped directly onto the center white stripe. What makes the Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet Klicker unique is the addition of two teardrop-shaped nickel sonic blades attached to the rear split ring. These blades are designed to click against the spoon and each other during the retrieve, adding a mechanical sound element to the visual flash. The reverse side of the lure showcases a polished nickel finish where the manufacturer’s mark is stamped into the metal. Overall, the specimen is in good shape, showing only light surface scratches and minor paint nicks consistent with a 4/5 condition rating. The hardware remains robust, featuring a standard silver-tone treble hook ready for the water or the display board. Lou Eppinger’s Michigan-born designs have remained largely unchanged for decades, relying on this specific concave geometry to catch the light.
