The Shorty resembles baitfish with thick bodies that are heavier than
conventional spoons for improved castability or deep jigging. Great for
freshwater or saltwater species, this lure has a hammered finish for
irresistible reflection to fish. Stainless steel bodies and split
rings. Per each. Sizes:
Reading other reviews the Hopkins Shorty jig seems to be a good choice for quite a varity of bottom fish. I'm trying it for Salt Water surface trolling for Yellowtail, it seems to have good action and I'm doing Ok with the 2-1/2 oz silver shorty so far. Mike, Sea of Cortez on the Costa Lotta
Great product. Seemed to be one of the few lures Striped Bass were hitting from the surf this year. WHile fishing North of the Golden Gate. Solidly built, will stand up to tough saltwater conditions. Would buy again
This is my go-to Florida surf fishing lure for bluefish, Spanish mackerel, crevalle jacks and more. It can be fished from top to bottom with any retrieve you can imagine from fast and straight on the surface to a slow drag on the sand. Let it flutter down on a semi-slack line and rip it off the bottom. Repeat. Experiment! I swap the treble for a single hook for ease of unhooking and less damage to fish that will be released, and strongly advise a short 30 or 40 pound test monofilament or fluoro bite leader.
