Vintage Eppinger Wingbat, 1/2oz fishing spoon #22972

A vibrant chartreuse green finish with bold black spotting defines the visual profile of this vintage specimen. Manufactured in the USA, the Eppinger Wingbat, identified by product code 22972, features a distinct triangular metal plate body. Two polished silver willow-leaf blades are mounted to the flanks via split rings, positioned alongside a robust treble hook at the trailing edge. This lure measures 2 1/4" (6cm) and weighs 1/2oz (14g), providing the necessary ballast for targeted casting. It remains secured in its original blue and green carded packaging, which highlights the Eppinger's brand name and the iconic devil head logo. The lure is unused and presents in factory condition. The vintage carding lists the Eppinger Mfg. Co. address in Dearborn, Michigan, a detail that marks its heritage within the American tackle industry.
