Museum Archive: Vintage Hopkins No=Eql hammerd 3, 1 1/4oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #3285

Stamped clearly into the hammered metal body, the "HOPKINS NO=EQL @ 3" branding is a hallmark of this 1 1/4 oz (35g) jig. The Hammered Nickel finish provides a distinct texture across the 3 1/2" (9cm) surface, reflecting light in a multi-directional manner. Identified by product code 3285, this USA-crafted lure is paired with a dressed treble hook that incorporates white and red fibers for visual contrast. The metal remains bright and well-preserved, earning a condition rating of 5/5. A single, clean-drilled hole at the eyelet end ensures a secure connection for heavy-duty saltwater or deep-water freshwater applications.
