Vintage Eppinger Wingbat, 1/2oz white/glitter fishing spoon #22723

White paint paired with a textured silver glitter inlay defines the striking visual profile of this specimen. Produced by Eppinger, this Wingbat model measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and carries a weight of 1/2 oz (14 g). The design features distinctive side-mounted "wings" and a concave body, a testament to the specialized hardware that evolved from Lou Eppinger’s original 1906 designs. Identified by product code 22723, this lure is presented in its original green and blue retail carding. The specimen is unused, maintaining a pristine finish across the white body and the reflective glitter surface. All original hardware, including the treble hook, remains intact and secure. The contrast between the solid white finish and the silver glitter center provides high visibility, a characteristic that made Eppinger a staple in tackle boxes even after their 1959 move to Dearborn. The carding remains clean and the plastic bubble is intact, preserving the lure's original state.
