Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet Klicker, 3/4oz fishing spoon #22083

Red and white diagonal stripes on the 3/4 oz (21 g) body immediately identify this Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet Klicker as a classic American design. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the lure is equipped with two small metal 'klicker' blades near the treble hook that produce a subtle mechanical sound by tapping against the spoon's metal surface. The front displays the iconic devil head logo, while the back is polished silver and clearly stamped with 'DARDEVLET DETROIT U.S.A.' and the brand name. Rated at a condition of 4/5, the piece shows minor surface wear from handling, which adds a bit of history to the original enamel finish. Product code 22083 includes sturdy split rings and a strong treble hook, making it as functional today for casting as it was when it left the factory. The teardrop-shaped blades are positioned to provide maximum interaction with the body during the retrieve.
