Museum Archive: Vintage ​Hopkins Smoothie Jig Lure, 2/5oz Nickel / Green fishing spoon #14236

Nickel plating provides a high-luster finish to this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) specimen, which remains a staple for jigging enthusiasts. A vibrant green scale-patterned insert is recessed into the metal body, providing a sharp visual contrast. Labeled with the "SMOOTHIE™" mark on the face, this 2/5oz (11g) lure carries the product code 14236. The design features a narrow, aerodynamic shape intended for casting or vertical jigging applications where reaching depth quickly is essential. A small green eye detail sits just above the heavy-duty split ring that secures a sharp treble hook to the tail. The finish on this particular piece is exceptionally well-preserved, earning it a 5/5 condition rating. The reverse side shows the clean, stamped metal characteristic of authentic USA-made Hopkins construction.
