Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Klicker, 1oz Fluorescent Orange / Nickel fishing spoon #1599

Fluorescent orange paint with bold black spots covers the face of this classic casting spoon, a signature look for the Eppinger brand. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing in at 1 oz (28 g), this Dardevle Klicker (Product Code 1599) is built for serious distance and depth. The "Klicker" design is defined by two metallic willow-leaf blades attached to the rear split ring, which collide with the spoon and each other during a steady retrieve. A clear stamp on the nickel-finished reverse reads "DARDEVLE DETROIT, MICH.", pointing to the company's historical roots before their move to Dearborn. The iconic devil head logo is centered on the painted side, just above the hardware. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, exhibiting some honest paint wear and surface marks that speak to its time in a tackle box while maintaining its original luster. It features a heavy-duty treble hook ready for large freshwater predators.
