Stamped clearly on the concave underside of this nickel-plated spoon are the words "LEN THOMPSON NO. 6," identifying a design that has been a staple in tackle boxes for decades. Measuring exactly 1" (2.5 cm) and weighing a light 1/8oz (3.5g), the lure is sized for finessing predatory fish in various water conditions. The bright nickel finish provides a clean, reflective surface to mimic the scales of a small minnow. Its teardrop shape is specifically balanced to produce a slow wobbling action, a technical characteristic that has made the brand a go-to for pike, salmon, and lake trout. This particular specimen, product code 11270, arrives in 5/5 condition, featuring a highly preserved body and a sharp, silver-tone treble hook. The hardware is securely attached through the precision-drilled hole at the tail, making it ready for casting, trolling, or jigging.
