Museum Archive: Vintage Hopkins No=Eql #2 Jig Lure, 2/5oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #12422

Featuring a classic hammered nickel finish, the textured surface of this jig is designed to catch light from every angle to mimic the natural flash of baitfish. At 2/5 oz (11 g) and measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, this specimen is a staple for casting or vertical jigging in both fresh and salt water. The body is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's mark and the NO=EQL model name, maintaining the crisp lines characteristic of well-preserved vintage gear. Built for durability, the lure is equipped with a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook ready for the water. This particular lure, identified by product code 12422, remains in exceptional 5/5 condition. The dimpled pattern across the solid metal body provides a distinct visual profile that has defined the Hopkins brand for generations of anglers.
