Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Imp Klicker, 2/5oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #5681

Two small silver "sonic" blades are mounted on split rings alongside the treble hook to add a rhythmic clicking sound during a steady retrieve. This Eppinger Dardevle Imp Klicker, carrying Product Code 5681, features the timeless red-and-white striped enamel finish on its convex face. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing 2/5 oz (11 g), this spoon is a mid-sized classic for various freshwater species. The iconic black devil head logo is clearly printed on the central white stripe. Flipping the lure over reveals a clean nickel-finished reverse side, deeply stamped with "DARDEVLE IMP U.S.A." as a mark of its Michigan-made heritage. The hardware, including the three split rings at the tail and the original treble hook, is well-preserved. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing vibrant paint and bright metal surfaces with only minimal signs of handling. The manufacturing precision of the proprietary dies is evident in the sharp stamping on the nickel back.
