Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Imp Klicker (with sonic blades), 2/5oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #13016

Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11g), the specimen features a 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body finished in the legendary red and white striped pattern. This Dardevle Imp Klicker, identified by product code 13016, is a specialized version of the classic Eppinger design that incorporates dual sonic blades at the rear split ring. These metal klickers are designed to contact the spoon's body and each other, adding a mechanical sound component to the visual flash of the polished nickel-plated back. The front face is stamped with the recognizable Eppinger devil head logo, a mark of quality from the company that has been manufacturing these in the USA for over a century. This particular lure remains unused and is in 6 condition, still housed in its original black and red carded packaging. The nickel finish on the reverse side is intended for clear water applications where high light reflection is desired. The hardware setup includes a sturdy treble hook attached via a robust split ring, suitable for targeting bass, salmon, or trout.
