A bold "Gray Scale" honeycomb pattern covers the surface of this lure, making it a visually striking piece of mid-century tackle. This Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet Klicker, cataloged as product code 8269, features the classic teardrop spoon shape stamped in the USA. Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the body is accented by hand-painted yellow eyes with large black pupils. What distinguishes the Klicker variant is the pair of small, silver-toned sonic blades attached to the rear split ring alongside the treble hook. These blades add a mechanical element to the construction, designed to interact with the water as the spoon is retrieved. The back of the spoon displays a clean, stamped finish with very light signs of age. In excellent condition for any collection, this specimen is rated 5/5. The original hardware includes a sturdy treble hook and split rings that remain tight and functional.
