Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Sparkle Tail, 3/16oz Yellow / Red / Glitter fishing lure #10592

A vibrant yellow base topped with a bold red back defines the aesthetic of this USA-made jointed crankbait. Labeled under product code 10592, the Eppinger Sparkle Tail is a dedicated suspender weighing 3/16 oz (5.5 g). The 2 1/4" (6 cm) body is adorned with silver glitter flakes across its midsection, adding visual texture to the finish. This particular specimen remains in 5/5 condition, with the paint and hardware looking exceptionally well-maintained. Designed for both casting and trolling, it was crafted for targeting freshwater species including salmon, zander, trout, perch, and pike. The front section features a prominent diving lip with an 8-shaped metal line tie, while the jointed tail section provides a mechanical break in the profile. The hardware consists of two dark-finished treble hooks, one belly-mounted and one at the tail, both appearing sharp and original to the piece.
