Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Rok't Imp, 3/4oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #4259

The 3/4oz (21g) weight of this casting spoon provides the heft needed for long, accurate casts. Stamped directly into the nickel reverse side, the 'BASS ROK'T-DEVLE DETROIT U.S.A.' mark identifies its origin from the legendary Eppinger workshops in Michigan. The front displays the iconic red and white striped finish, centered by the recognizable black devil head graphic and the 'ROK'T IMP' designation. At a length of 2 1/4" (5.5cm), this specimen is a quintessential example of mid-sized hardware. The hardware includes an original treble hook linked by a heavy-duty split ring, reflecting the high-quality standards Eppinger maintained for their product code 4259. Classified with a condition rating of 4/5, the piece remains very well-kept, featuring clean surfaces and clear, legible stamping on the nickel reverse.
