Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Imp, 2/5oz ladybug fishing spoon #18360

Featuring a striking matte fluorescent orange finish accented by bold black spots, this Ladybug pattern represents one of the most recognizable designs in the Eppinger catalog. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this specimen carries the iconic devil head logo stamped clearly on the convex side. The construction includes a sturdy silver-tone treble hook attached via a robust split ring, suitable for casting or trolling techniques. The painted surface reacts intensely under UV light, as shown in the supplemental imagery, which provides significant visibility in low-light conditions or stained water. Manufactured in the USA, this particular piece is in 5/5 condition, appearing remarkably clean with well-preserved hardware. Listed under product code 18360, this Imp model features a classic spoon shape with a drilled eyelet at the nose for direct line attachment or snap connection.
