Five black diamonds arranged in the classic pattern across a vibrant yellow finish define the aesthetic of this Canadian-made spoon. Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this #1 size model provides a significant profile for targeting pike or lake trout. The brass-finished back bears the stamped name of the manufacturer, Len Thompson, whose production heritage in the region dates back to 1929. This specimen, carrying product code 1748, shows light signs of use on the paint and metal while remaining in 4/5 condition. A silver-tone treble hook is attached at the rear via a strong split ring, making it ready for casting or trolling. The specific curve of the metal is engineered to create a slow wobbling motion during retrieval. The brass base remains visible on the reverse side, offering a subtle flash to contrast with the high-visibility yellow face.
