Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Sparkle Tail, 1/3oz Gray / Light Blue / Red fishing lure #8108

Measuring 3 1/4 inches (8 cm) in length, this jointed Eppinger lure carries a distinctive scale pattern in gray and light blue over a creamy white underbelly. The 1/3 oz (10 g) weight makes it a versatile choice for both casting and trolling sessions when targeting pike, walleye, or trout. Labeled under product code 8108, the bait features the "SPARKLE TAIL" name stamped clearly into the side and lives up to that moniker with a glitter-infused tail section. A bold red splash highlights the front near the metal diving lip, which is complemented by classic yellow painted eyes. This USA-made specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing remarkably clean paint and original hardware. The articulation between the body and tail is joined by sturdy metal loops, ensuring the structural integrity of this vintage find.
