Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Imp Klicker UV, 2/5oz fishing spoon #13433

A chartreuse-to-green gradient finish defines this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon, which features a UV-reactive coating for low-light visibility. Cataloged under product code 13433, the Dardevle Imp Klicker by Eppinger weighs 2/5 oz (11 g) and incorporates dual sonic blades designed to produce a mechanical clicking sound during the retrieve. This specimen is unused, preserving the factory-fresh quality of the paint and the sharp profile of the devil head stamp—a hallmark of Lou Eppinger’s Detroit heritage. The "Klicker" hardware consists of secondary metal plates attached to the spoon body, providing a unique audible vibration that complements the visual flash. The rear of the lure holds a bright treble hook and split ring, both in pristine state. Still mounted on its original retail carding, this American-made spoon reflects the technological updates Eppinger applied to their century-old design to meet modern angling needs. The intense glow, clearly visible under UV light, makes it a specialized tool for deep-water or overcast conditions while maintaining the classic oblong shape that has been manufactured in Michigan for generations.
