Museum Archive: Vintage Jet 1 Jig Japan, 1 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #24384

Weighing in at 1 1/2 oz (42g), the solid metal body of this jig features a clean Nickel finish that remains highly reflective. Stamped clearly with the 'JET 1' mark, the 4 1/4" (11 cm) length is characteristic of mid-century Japanese manufacturing, designed primarily for long-distance casting or vertical jigging. The hardware, including the robust treble hook and split rings, is in 5/5 condition, showing how well this specific piece has been preserved since its production. Identified by product code 24384, the lure's slender, tapered profile is built to cut through the water column efficiently. The nickel plating is remarkably smooth, with the branding deeply impressed into the metal near the line-tie end.
