Museum Archive: Vintage Hopkins Smoothie Glow - Glow In Dark, 3/4oz Nickel / Green / fishing spoon #9104

Glowing with a distinct luminescence under low-light or UV conditions, the vibrant green tape insert is neatly recessed within the polished nickel body of this 3/4 oz (21g) jig. This specific Hopkins Smoothie Glow, carrying product code 9104, is a prime example of American-made tackle engineering from the USA. At a length of 2 1/4" (6cm), the lure is stamped with the recognizable "SMOOTHIE®" mark directly on the glow-in-the-dark section, which transforms into a bright neon beacon when charged. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook secured by a split ring, ready for vertical jigging or long-distance casting. Maintaining a 5/5 condition, the reflective nickel surface remains bright and the phosphorescent inlay shows no signs of wear. This specimen highlights the brand's specialized low-visibility finishes while keeping the classic profile that has served anglers for decades.
