Hopkins NO=EQLLures are the original HOPKINS Lures. They resemble mullet, sardines, herring or any silver baitfish. NO=EQL Lures have relatively thick bodies. They are heavier then conventional spoons of the same length and can be cast much farther.

With the bucktail they have taken most Fresh and Saltwater Game fish, jigging, casting, and trolling. Hence our claim that they are the "World's Most Versatile Lures." The Hopkins is the go to surfcasting lure when the wind is in your face.

Shorty Hopkins
July 26, 2022
I love the shorty Hopkins in 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 ounces with a single hook and white & red dressings. Its heavy enough to be cast against the wind and does well in the waves or the currents of breachways & canals. You catch a lot less weeds with the single hook. I've caught both stripers and bluefish on the shorty Hopkins.
Pros
  • Heavy, cast well, shiny, swims like a baitfish, the single hook catches less weeds.
Cons
  • Careful casting if your braided line has tangles or these heavy lures will come flying off.

We can't get these in our local tackle stores here in California, so it's a new look for our highly pressured fishery, Thanks Tackle Direct for the hook up!

Hopkins lures have always been great quality, good hardware and finish. Shorty is no exception. Produces well when you need to reach out to fish in wind.

The action on this tin is incredible.
When the fish are on small bait it's a must have in your bag.

For the rig I make up these work really good but when you get the smallest one instead of a single hook which would work better it comes with a treble !
Cons
  • Would be better on the smallest one if it came with a single hook as pictured in stead of a treble hook !

Nice single hook
September 17, 2016
Good for blue fish. Easy hook and easy off. Not like the 3 hooks, it can be tough to unhook the fish when it take in 2 or all 3 hook.
Pros
  • Good effective product
Cons
  • Not so easy to clip on for the larger one because the hole is too thick.
