Eppinger Wingbat, 1/2oz yellow fishing spoon #24407

The Eppinger Wingbat A bright yellow finish with a textured prism pattern defines this specimen of Michigan fishing history. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, this Eppinger Wingbat features a distinctive set of lateral silver wings near the line tie. These extensions are designed to produce a wide, gliding motion in the water, creating a fluttering presentation distinct from standard spoon designs. The lure remains unused in its original green and blue carded packaging, which bears the classic Devle Head logo and lists the manufacturer's location in Dearborn, MI. Finding an archival model like this Wingbat—product code 24407—is quite a treat for collectors, as the unique winged geometry hasn't been in production for many years. The hardware includes a clean silver treble hook attached to the tail of the tapered body.
