Stamped with 'MIKE'S TACKLE' and 'SLIM JIM' on its opposing flat sides, this metal jig showcases a classic slender profile designed for vertical presentation. Coming in at a substantial 1 1/2 oz (44g) and measuring 4" (10cm) in length, it carries enough mass to reach depth quickly. The Nickel finish provides a high-flash surface, a traditional choice for mimicking baitfish in various light conditions. Rated at 4/5, the specimen maintains a bright reflective quality across its elongated body with only minor signs of its history. It features a simple yet effective design with a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring, paired with a solid line-tie eyelet at the head. This Mike's Tackle piece, identified by product code 6849, is a quintessential example of mid-century American metal lure manufacturing.
