Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Rok't Imp UV, 3/4oz Fluorescent Yellow / Copper UV Glow in UV light, Fluorescent fishing spoon #3757

Stamping into the polished copper back of this spoon are the words "ROK'T-DEVLE" and "IMP," identifying it as a classic piece of Eppinger hardware from the USA. This specific 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) specimen features a vibrant Fluorescent Yellow front, accented with bright orange polka dots and the recognizable red devil graphic. Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), the lure is built for distance casting. The finish includes UV Glow properties, enhancing its visibility in low-light conditions or deeper water. Flipping it over reveals the warm copper finish on the concave side, a choice often preferred by seasoned anglers for stained or cloudy water conditions. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook securely attached via a sturdy split ring. Registered under product code 3757, the spoon shows a condition rating of 4/5, maintaining its crisp markings and bright paint. Eppinger's proprietary dies give the body its distinctive oblong shape, designed to create a specific wobbling action during a slow retrieve. If the lure flutters during a retrieve, a slight pump of the rod can trigger a reaction from a following predator.
