Hopkins Shorty spoon is a great choice for fishing around vegetation and other snag-inducing cover. Designed to resemble a shad-type baitfish, it features a compact profile and thicker body, which combined with its natural swimming action and scale-like hammered finish, produces an irresistible flash fish can't ignore. For over 60 years Hopkins has thrived on a single objective - to make the best lures on the market. That's why all of their spoons are forged from solid stainless steel stock, not cast or stamped like other spoons. Among other things, this makes the Shorty heavier than conventional spoons of the same length, and allows it to be cast much further. Extremely versatile as well, the Hopkins Shorty spoon is a proven performer for deep water jigging, and even trolling in fresh or saltwater.
