Shaded with a bright yellow and lime green gradient, the painted face of this Eppinger spoon features the iconic black devil head logo centered on its upper curve. This specimen, identified by product code 3677, belongs to the Dardevle Imp series and measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm) with a weight of 2/5oz (11g). The reverse side is finished in polished nickel, deeply stamped with the "DARDEVLE IMP" name and "Dearborn MI," signifying its production history in the USA. Its oblong, concave design is a hallmark of the brand, intended to create a steady wobbling movement through the water column. A sharp treble hook is attached at the base with a split ring, while the leading edge features a clean attachment hole for a snap or leader. The lure is in 5/5 condition, displaying a glossy, preserved finish on both the painted and metallic surfaces.
