"I took a client fishing in Prince William Sound three days ago, and he had brought with him a few of your Shorty 150 lures, which he wanted to try on halibut, rockfish, and ling cod here in Alaska.  I was very impressed with the fish-catching and general casting and handling performance of the lures. In two days of fishing, the Shorty 150 lures accounted for about fifty black rockfish, four good sized ling cod, two silver salmon, and three halibut--18, 35, and 72 pounds. 

Best Regards,

"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,

"Hopkins Shortys are deadly for walleyes on the Great Lakes that are relating to structure such as rock humps, sand dunes, and gravel beds.  I like to use a gold shorty with overcast skies or dirty water.  On bright sunny days and clear water I use silver.  I match the size of the lure to water depth, in most situations a 1/2 oz will work in waters up to twenty feet deep. The Hopkins Shorty is so versatile that it can be vertical jigged, casted and retrieved, trolled, or my favorite technique is to cast it out and snap jig it back to you. Cast it out and let it fall to the bottom, when it contacts bottom snap it violently up with the rod tip, then let it fall on a slack line, and then repeat.  Walleyes will hit it on the fall."

"Thanks to your spoons, I have won at least $50,000 in tournaments the past several years and plan to keep using them in future events."

"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."

"I'm 53 years old and fished on the surf since I've been 7 with my father and we alway caught fish on the hopkins lures, Love them!"

"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."

"Years ago, I used Hopkins stainless steel lures for Striped bass in NewEngland. It was a killer to say the least. While living here in Washington State, I noticed Salmon fishermen fishing the migration salmon in the fresh water rivers with herring, and only during the early hours of the day. Then they would head home after the sun came up, saying "Salmon don't bite in streams during sunny days" Again, the flash of the Hopkins lure pulled through for me. Just so happens this lure opened a whole new interest in mid day fishing. It is a killer for our Chinook. Thanks for a quality product that I could count on for generations."
