Museum Archive: Vintage Kenden KENDEN JIG, 1 1/3oz Nickel fishing spoon #6848

Nickel plating gives this sleek 1 1/3 oz (40g) jig a bright, reflective finish that catches the light effectively. Stamped clearly on the upper body is the "KENDEN" name, a mark of American craftsmanship from its USA origin. Measuring 3 3/4" (9.5cm) in length, this specimen, identified by product code 6848, features a slender, aerodynamic profile designed to reach depth quickly. The hardware includes a dark-finished treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring, and the line tie is a simple, clean-cut hole at the tapered head. Its polished surface is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, maintaining the original luster of the nickel coating. The weight and streamlined shape make it a specialized tool for vertical presentations or long-distance casting in heavy currents.
