Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Weedless​ Dardevle Seadevle Imp, 1oz Frog (Yellow / Green / Nickel) fishing spoon #2534

Yellow-centered black dots contrast sharply against a textured green crackle finish on this heavy-duty casting spoon. Weighing in at 1oz (28g) with a length of 3 1/4" (8.3 cm), this Weedless Dardevle Seadevle Imp is engineered for navigating heavy vegetation. The nickel-finished back displays the classic 'DETROIT, U.S.A.' and 'SEADEVLE IMP' stampings, along with an inventory label for product code 2534. A single large hook is secured by a robust screw-down wire guard, a design perfected by Eppinger since their founding in 1906 to prevent snags in lilies or timber. The 'Frog' color pattern on this specimen is incredibly crisp, showing the depth of the crackle paint technique. It maintains a 5/5 condition rating with the hardware and finish remaining in top form. The tactile feel of the painted surface adds a realistic dimension to the lure's profile while being pulled through the water.
