Museum Archive: Vintage Hopkins Smoothie, 3/4oz Nickel / Green / Pink fishing spoon #10048

Luminescence defines the appeal of the green insert found on this nickel-finished spoon, which glows vibrantly under low-light or UV conditions as shown in its dark-room profile. Forged in the USA, the Hopkins Smoothie (Product Code 10048) features a textured "Glow" panel that transitions from a bright green in daylight to a ghostly neon in the depths. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) and weighing 3/4oz (21g), the dense body is built for long-distance casting and vertical jigging. A small yellow-rimmed eye is positioned near the line tie, providing a target contrast against the polished metal. This specimen is preserved in 5/5 condition, maintaining its original factory finish and sharp treble hardware. The "SMOOTHIE®" branding is clearly stamped into the fluorescent insert.
