Glistening under the light, the hammered gold finish on this forged spoon provides a distinct textural contrast that has defined Hopkins lures for decades. Weighing in at 1/3oz (9g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm), the Shorty S1 is a classic design stamped with "S1" directly into the metal body. This particular specimen, identified by product code 10042, remains in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, reflective surface and sharp hardware. The eye, a small green-rimmed detail near the line tie, adds a subtle focal point to the lure's head. Proudly made in the USA, the solid stainless steel construction ensures durability while the attached snap allows for quick rigging. Its simple yet effective teardrop profile is paired with a sturdy treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring.
