Vintage Hopkins No=Eql 4, 2 1/2oz nickel fishing spoon #24291

Hammered nickel finish provides a unique visual profile to this 2 1/2 oz (70g) pilker, a design rooted in R.L. Hopkins' 1949 quest for a more durable saltwater lure. Measuring 4 1/2" (11.5cm), the Hopkins No=Eql 4 (product code 24291) is forged to provide the density required for reaching deep structures or cutting through heavy winds during a cast. The specimen presented here is in 5/5 condition, retaining its bright luster and structural integrity. A heavy-duty treble hook is attached at the rear, reflecting the manufacturer's commitment to hardware that can withstand the pull of a trophy fish. Primarily utilized for vertical jigging or long-distance casting for species like walleye or striper, its construction remains a standard for anglers seeking durability and weight.
