Brown and orange hues define the palette of this classic American-made lure, which features a textured scale pattern on the dark brown back that transitions into a warm orange belly. This 3/16 oz (5.5 g) specimen is the Eppinger Sparkle Tail, identified by product code 13945 and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length. Its most distinct feature is the articulated rear section that gives the model its name, clearly stamped "SPARKLE-TAIL" along the side of the body. The lure is equipped with a deep-diving lip integrated into the head and an "8" link line tie, making it a functional choice for both casting and trolling for species like salmon, trout, or pike. Rated at 5/5, the finish is remarkably well-preserved, showcasing vibrant yellow eyes and the characteristic silver flecks on the jointed tail segment.
