Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Imp Klicker UV, 2/5oz Yellow / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #5788

A vibrant yellow enamel with five bold red dots defines the face of this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon. This Eppinger Dardevle Imp Klicker UV, identified by product code 5788, weighs a versatile 2/5 oz (11 g) and showcases the distinctive "Klicker" hardware setup. Attached to the rear split rings are two small nickel blades designed to create mechanical sound and extra flash during a steady retrieve or while casting. The reverse side features a polished nickel finish stamped with "DARDEVLE IMP U.S.A.", confirming its Michigan origins. Centered on the yellow side is the classic green devil head logo, synonymous with the brand founded by Lou Eppinger in 1906. This particular lure is well-preserved, with the paint and hardware remaining bright and intact, resulting in a condition rating of 4.5/5. The treble hook is securely attached via a heavy-duty split ring, intended for casting or trolling in various water clarities.
