Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 545:
Description
This lot comprises 10 heavy-duty fishing jig heads designed for saltwater applications. Each assembly features a cast lead weight in either a bullet-nose or cylindrical shape. The lead weights are integrated with large, barbed metal hooks and include brass-colored circular eyelets for line attachment. Several units feature cast lead bait-keeper collars on the hook shanks. Visible cast numeric markings on the weights include 12 and 24, which typically correspond to the weight or model size. The configuration of these items is consistent with terminal tackle used for deep-water bottom fishing for species such as grouper, lingcod, and halibut.
Condition report:
The items are in used condition. The lead weights show characteristic surface oxidation, pitting, and minor abrasions. The hooks exhibit signs of light wear and isolated areas of minor surface corrosion.
