Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Imp UV, 2/5oz Electric Lime fishing spoon #23009

Glistening with a high-visibility Electric Lime finish, this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon is a staple for targeting bass, salmon, trout, or panfish. Weighed at 2/5 oz (11 g), the Eppinger Dardevle Imp UV (Product Code 23009) remains in its original packaging, and this specific specimen is unused. The concave design features the classic devil head stamp on the front, while the reverse side sports a reflective nickel-plated back that provides significant flash in clear water conditions. Manufactured in Dearborn, Michigan, the lure's construction relies on Eppinger's proprietary dies, ensuring the exact curvature that has made these spoons famous since Lou Eppinger's early days in Detroit. The hardware includes a factory-installed treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. This specimen is presented in its original retail carding, which details the intended species and historical context of the brand.
