Museum Archive: Hopkins shorty 75 Jig Lure, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #11071

Forged from solid stainless steel, this 3/4 oz (21 g) jigging lure features the signature hammered texture synonymous with the Hopkins legacy. Originating from the USA, the Hopkins Shorty 75, identified by product code 11071, is a versatile tool designed primarily for vertical jigging and long-distance casting. The nickel finish provides a bright, high-flash surface that holds up exceptionally well against the elements. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the body is paired with a heavy-duty split ring and a sharp treble hook suitable for both fresh and saltwater environments. While the original thin plastic packaging shows some storage wear, the lure itself remains in unused condition. This specimen reflects the thick, durable construction intended for reaching depth quickly when targeting schooling fish. The balance and weight distribution are engineered for deep-water presentations where a fast sink rate is required.
