Decorated in a traditional Perch finish with dark vertical bands and a scaled texture, this 2 1/4" (6 cm) Eppinger Sparkle Tail represents classic American tackle design. Carrying Product Code 8908, the sinking body weighs 3/16 oz (5.5 g) and is built for versatility at variable depths, making it a reliable choice for targeting pike, walleye, or trout. The construction features a prominent black diving lip and the signature "Sparkle Tail"—a yellow, glitter-filled rear segment that adds a unique visual element ahead of the trailing hook. This particular specimen is in exceptional 5/5 condition, appearing unused with its paint and silver-toned treble hooks remaining sharp and bright. Originally produced in the USA, the lure incorporates a bold yellow eye and a warm orange-red throat accent. Both casting and trolling techniques are suitable for this model, which maintains its original hardware configuration.
