Nickel plating on the back of this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon provides a high-contrast flash against its classic painted front. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), this Eppinger Weedless Dardevle Imp features the legendary red-and-white striped finish that put Lou Eppinger’s Detroit-based company on the map. This particular specimen, identified by product code 7756, is equipped with a single hook shielded by a wire weed guard to navigate heavy cover. A bright red feather dressing is securely tied to the hook shank, adding a soft visual element to the metal body. You can clearly see the iconic "Devil Head" logo stamped into the white paint near the line tie. The finish is remarkably well-preserved, showing crisp edges on the stripes and no signs of use, earning it a condition rating of 5/5. On the reverse side, the "Dardevle Imp" and "USA" hallmarks are stamped into the polished nickel surface.
