At a weight of 2/5 oz (11g), this classic Dardevle Imp is a quintessential piece of American angling history from Eppinger. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the spoon features a striking color pattern of bold red side stripes flanking a central yellow band. The convex front face displays the famous horned devil logo stamped in black, a hallmark of the Detroit-founded company. Turning the lure over reveals a clean nickel-plated finish stamped with DARDEVLE IMP USA, confirming its origin. This specimen, identified by product code 3321, comes equipped with a sturdy silver-toned treble hook attached via a robust split ring. The condition is superb, rated 5/5, showing the original factory finish across both the painted and metallic surfaces. Lou Eppinger’s proprietary dies give this oblong shape its functional concave surface, designed for casting or trolling.
