Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Sparkle Tail , 1/3oz White fishing lure #10582

White paint covers the entirety of this 1/3oz (10g) hard bait, which is clearly embossed with the 'SPARKLE TAIL' name on its flank. Originating from the USA, this Eppinger specimen (Product Code 10582) features a jointed body and a distinct diving lip, categorized technically as a suspender. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm), the lure is designed for both casting and trolling techniques when targeting salmon, perch, zander, trout, and pike. A vibrant red eye provides a sharp contrast against the clean white finish, which remains remarkably well-preserved. Carrying a condition rating of 5/5, the dual treble hooks and the jointed hinge mechanism appear in excellent, functional shape.
