Museum Archive: Vintage Hopkins No=Eql hammerd, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #3270

Stamped clearly into the metal body, the 'HOPKINS NO=EQL 2' mark identifies this 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) jig as a genuine piece of American fishing history. Product code 3270 features a distinct hammered nickel finish designed to catch and reflect light through the water column. Weighing 1/2oz (14g), the dense, solid metal construction facilitates long-distance casting or precise vertical jigging. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, clean surface that highlights the craftsmanship of its USA origin. At the tapered end, a sturdy split ring secures a sharp treble hook, while a single eyelet at the head serves as the attachment point for a snap or line.
