Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Imp, 2/5oz Yellow / Green / Orange fishing spoon #1203

Yellow, green, and orange hues blend across the body of this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon, overlaid with a distinct silver hexagonal scale pattern. This Dardevle Imp, designated by product code 1203, remains in its original vintage packaging from Eppinger's Dearborn, Michigan facility. The metal body is weighted at 2/5 oz (11 g), making it a versatile choice for casting near weed edges or submerged structure. Since the company moved to Dearborn in 1959, these lures have maintained their reputation for durability and effectiveness among pike and bass anglers. This specimen is unused, preserving the factory finish and the classic red-and-white card art featuring the iconic devil head logo. A single treble hook is attached to the rear via a split ring, ready for the water or a collector's display case.
