Forged in the USA, the dense metal body of this casting spoon has been a staple for anglers targeting deep-water species for decades. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, the Hopkins Shorty 75 carries a weight of 3/4oz (21g), providing the ballast required for long-distance casting or vertical presentations. The Hammered Silver color on this specific specimen, identified by product code 9098, creates a multifaceted reflection across its dimpled surface. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the lure presents as a well-maintained example with its plating still very bright. It comes equipped with a heavy-duty split ring and a durable treble hook at the tail end. The simple, streamlined profile is punctuated by a single attachment hole at the head.
