My first choice to put walleyes in the livewell is a Hopkins 
Lure.  The Shorty and the Smoothy are what keep me at the top of the 
leader board.

Have a great day,

Introduced to your lures by several bait and tackle shops on Cape Hatteras, like Frisco Bait and Tackle in Frisco, NC and Dillon's Corner, (by Chester Brit and Al Mury, before his passing) in Buxton, NC. Great for surf fishing. Hit a blitz of Blues and they took your lure as fast as it hit the water. I'm going to try your lure in our local lakes and reservoirs for Muskies and in the Delaware River for Walleye. Very impressed with the success I've experienced with your lure. I've even bought some extras and given them to my friends.

Hello, I'd like to start by saying I've used Hopkins lures for over 40 years. I grew up in Connecticut, on Long Island Sound, and had great success, catching striped bass, bluefish, mackerel etc...on Hopkins lures. Now I live in the mountins of Virginia, there are a lot of lakes to fish, and my passion has now turned to walleye, Thank you for a great lure.

We launched into Prince William Sound from the small port town of Whittier, and drove out about 40 miles, I was jigging off the bottom with the same Shorty 150 that I was using last time out. After catching 8 or 9 rockfish, a couple of gray cod, a black bass, and a couple of sculpin, I hooked a much larger fish. The fish turned out to be a 53 inch long, 72 pound halibut, that we finally were able to land the fifth time I brought it into view from the boat.  The fish ran all the way back to the 65 foot bottom and then out away from the boat even further four times!  That was quite a workout for me--it certainly warmed up the rainy cool day.
