Heavy nickel plating over a hammered surface defines this Hopkins Shorty 225, a design born in 1949 when R. L. Hopkins sought a lure capable of withstanding harsh saltwater conditions. At 2 oz (56 g), this solid metal tackle is engineered for extreme casting distance and resilience against trophy-sized fish. The hammered texture creates a distinct visual profile across the 3 1/2" (9 cm) body, which is constructed to function as a dedicated jigging lure rather than a standard spoon. Stamped clearly with its name and USA origin, specimen 21339 remains in 5/5 condition with bright, reflective surfaces and robust hardware. While effective for trolling, it is primarily utilized as a jig for species like walleye or perch, where strikes most frequently occur on the fall.
