Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), this Eppinger spoon offers the versatile casting weight that has made the Dardevle line a staple since 1906. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this Dardevle Imp UV, identified by product code 12513, showcases a fluorescent yellow face with five pink dots and the signature devil head stamp. The concave metal body is finished with a clean nickel back, providing high-contrast flash for deeper water. A notable feature of this specimen is its UV glow capability; in low-light environments or at depth, the yellow paint emits a strong green luminescence that makes the pink dots stand out as dark contrast points. The lure is rigged with a robust silver-tone treble hook and is in 5/5 condition, appearing unused with a smooth, vibrant finish and sharp graphics. This model belongs to the specialized UV series designed for maximum visibility in conditions where standard colors might fail, making it a reliable choice for targeting pike or trout.
