Solid copper surfaces give this 2/5 oz (11 g) spoon a warm, classic look that collectors immediately recognize. Designed as a weedless "Imp" model, it features a single hook protected by a wire guard, specialized for fishing heavy cover or lily pads without snagging. Bright red feathers are neatly tied to the hook shank, providing a soft contrast against the metal body. Flipping it over reveals the crisp "Eppinger Dardevle IMP U.S.A." stamp, a hallmark of the company founded by Lou Eppinger in 1906. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this specimen remains in 5/5 condition, showing the high-quality craftsmanship expected from Detroit-born tackle. The distinct rivet on the copper face serves as a secure attachment point for the internal hardware. This specific vintage lure is identified by product code 19174.
