The story of Hopkins® began in 1949 when R.L. Hopkins, an avid salt water fisherman and experimenter, decided that a better lure was needed. His initial objectives were to develop a lure that could be cast for distance, that had good fish attracting action, and that could withstand the rigors of salt water fishing; a lure that would resist corrosion and be tough enough to handle those trophy-sized fish.
From this, Hopkins® Stainless Steel Lures was born.
We present to you the Hopkins® Shorty Hammered Spoon, a compact spoon lure designed for casting from the beach, shore, or boat. Although designed for the rigors of a saltwater environment, they work equally well in freshwater. The shape of the Shorty mimics shad, peanut bunker and other wider bodied baitfish, and the balanced weight make them an excellent casting lure, even into the wind.
Hopkins® Lures are forged from solid stainless steel stock. All are equipped with stainless steel split rings and all hooks are Mustad.

Shipping Fishing Rods: We have customized our shipping of fishing rods to fall into 7 tiers. All but the last tier (Tier MP - Market Price) are a flat rate to ship the rods. Multiple factors went into determining which tier a rod will fall into, including but not limited to cost of the rod, size of the box needed to ship the rod, etc. Rods may switch tiers due to the factors calculating their tier having changed. To determine a shipping cost on a specific rod, add it to you cart and go through the checkout process to the shipping section.
