Hammered nickel surfaces catch light from every angle on this 1 1/2 oz (42 g) spoon, identifying it immediately as a versatile tool for vertical jigging. Known under product code 4820, the Hopkins Shorty 150 measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) and represents a storied piece of American manufacturing from the USA. The iconic dimpled texture is deeply impressed into the metal, accompanied by a clear 'SHORTY 150' stamp near the center of the body. Its condition is rated at 5/5, with the bright finish remaining intact and showing no signs of use. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook and an integrated wire leader with a swivel, a setup traditionally favored for reaching deeper waters without the risk of line twist. The split ring and wire components appear original, preserving the integrity of this classic metal jig.
