At 2/5oz (11g), this mid-sized casting spoon carries the weight needed for accurate placement even in a breeze. The paint pattern features a bold white stripe flanked by black, a scheme complemented by the crisp devil head logo stamped on the face. This 2 1/4" (5.5cm) Dardevle Imp, identified by product code 12856, maintains a 5/5 condition with the finish looking remarkably well-preserved. Flip it over to see the 'DARDEVLE IMP U.S.A.' hallmark stamped into the polished nickel back, a nod to the Eppinger company's long heritage that began in 1906 Detroit. The hardware remains robust, with the treble hook secured to the spoon body. The high-contrast color palette of the black and white face against the bright nickel reverse is designed to be visible in diverse water conditions.
