Vintage Hopkins No=Eql 3, 2oz nickel fishing spoon #22591

Hammered nickel plating defines the surface of this 2 oz (60g) metal slab, a design born from R.L. Hopkins’ 1949 quest for a durable saltwater casting tool. Measuring 4 1/4" (10.5cm), the Hopkins No=Eql 3 is engineered with a dense profile intended for reaching deep water quickly. The body features the clear stamp 'HOPKINS NO-EQL @ 3 1/2' across its textured face, which helps break up light reflections. Both the treble hook and heavy split ring appear in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, clean appearance. Cataloged under product code 22591, this lure utilizes a single-hole line tie at the tapered nose. Its construction is primarily focused on casting and jigging applications where weight and corrosion resistance are prioritized.
