Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Imp Klicker, 2/5oz Five of Diamonds / Bronze (Brass) fishing spoon #3958

A bright yellow base decorated with five red diamonds defines the iconic look of this vintage casting spoon. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g) with a length of 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), this Eppinger Dardevle Imp Klicker features a heavy brass construction clearly visible on its stamped reverse side. The "Klicker" designation refers to the two metallic sonic blades attached via split rings at the rear, which are designed to strike against the main spoon body during fishing. This specific specimen, identified by product code 3958, remains in unused condition (6), showing a pristine paint job and clean hardware. The classic black logo is centered among the diamonds, a graphic hallmark from the Michigan-based company founded by Lou Eppinger. Stamped directly into the metal on the back, the "IMP" name denotes this specific medium-sized frame within their extensive catalog.
