A distinct brown and gold scale pattern covers the upper body of this sinking lure, which originates from the USA. Tipping the scales at 3/16oz (5.5g), the Eppinger Sparkle Tail features a unique jointed construction ending in a small, textured rear segment. This specific specimen, identified by product code 9204, measures 2 1/4" (6cm) in length. Its large, integrated diving lip allows for a variable swimming depth depending on retrieve speed, making it a functional choice for both casting and trolling sessions. Anglers typically utilize this model when targeting salmon, perch, zander, trout, or pike. The paint remains well-preserved, especially around the yellow eyes with their sharp black pupils, resulting in a condition rating of 5/5. Two sturdy treble hooks are attached via a belly hanger and a rear split ring on the articulated tail. The transition from the scale-patterned main body to the orange-tinted throat area adds a subtle touch of contrast to the finish.
