Museum Archive: Vintage Hopkins Smoothie, 2/5oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #19002

Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (11g), this slab-style spoon showcases the enduring quality Hopkins is known for. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, this specimen features a polished nickel finish accented by a vibrant blue oval inlay that bears the Smoothie trademark. Identified by product code 19002, the lure's construction is geared toward versatile presentations like casting or vertical jigging in both fresh and salt water. The hardware remains in excellent shape with strong split rings and a sturdy treble hook, appearing unused and ready for a display or a line. A small, focused black eye is positioned near the line tie, providing a distinct contrast against the bright metallic surface of this American-made classic.
