Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Sparkle Tail, 1/4oz White Sparkle Tail fishing lure #20773

Stamped clearly along the side of this Eppinger creation is the SPARKLE-TAIL name, serving as a primary identifier for vintage lure enthusiasts. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), this American-made suspender is designed for both casting and trolling applications when targeting species like pike, zander, and trout. The White Sparkle Tail finish is particularly interesting, combining a matte white body with a textured, glitter-infused tail section that offers a subtle visual contrast. A prominent red eye provides a sharp point of interest against the white frame, while the integrated diving lip matches the body's coloration. Cataloged as product code 20773, this specimen remains in top-tier 5/5 condition with clean silver-colored treble hooks and vibrant paint throughout.
