Vintage Hopkins No=Eql 4 H, 3oz nickel fishing spoon #23296

Forging a reputation for distance, the 3 oz (82g) weight of this Hopkins jig allows for substantial casting reach in heavy surf or deep water. A distinctive hammered texture covers the nickel body, designed to catch and reflect light much like a fleeing baitfish. The single hook is adorned with a classic white bucktail trailer, secured with a neat red thread wrap that provides a subtle focal point. Clearly stamped onto the metal surface is the "HOPKINS NO-EQL 4H" branding, marking its place in the lineage established by R.L. Hopkins in 1949 to withstand the corrosive demands of saltwater environments. This specific specimen is in excellent shape, showing a condition of 5/5 with a clean, reflective finish. Measuring 4 1/2" (11.5cm), the solid metal construction makes it a versatile tool for vertical jigging or trolling. Its catalog entry is designated by product code 23296.
