Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Imp Klicker, 2/5oz Fluorescent Green / Pearl White fishing spoon #0153

Two small silver sonic blades are attached to the split ring alongside the treble hook on this Eppinger Dardevle Imp Klicker, cataloged under product code 0153. The finish on this specimen is remarkably well-preserved, earning a 5/5 rating. A vivid Fluorescent Green and Pearl White tiger-stripe pattern decorates the face, accented by the classic "devil head" logo—a mark of quality that Lou Eppinger's company has maintained since their early days in Michigan. This spoon measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length and weighs in at 2/5 oz (11 g), providing a substantial profile for a variety of freshwater species. The "Klicker" feature is the defining characteristic here, with those metal blades designed to strike the spoon’s surface while in motion. It remains a prime example of American-made tackle from a manufacturer that once provided survival gear to the U.S. government. The hardware includes a single large treble hook fixed at the rear.
