Museum Archive: Hopkins s1 - Jig Lure, 2/5oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #6735

Hammered nickel finishes like the one on this 2/5 oz (11 g) spoon were designed to reflect light effectively throughout the water column during a retrieve. Based in Norfolk, Virginia, the Hopkins Fishing Lures Co. Inc. manufactured these specimens from solid stainless steel, ensuring the body remains impervious to rust or peeling over time. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), this Hopkins s1 - Jig Lure is still secured to its original display card, which lists its suitability for casting, jigging, and trolling for all game fish. The lure is in unused condition, retaining a bright, clean surface across its textured dimpling. A sharp treble hook is attached to the rear, dressed with a traditional white bucktail and a red thread wrap for added visual contrast. Identified by product code 6735, the metal body is stamped with the brand name, and the original heavy-duty split ring is present and functional.
