Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson #6, 1/8oz Red / White / Gold fishing spoon #12066

Measuring exactly 1" (2.5 cm), this compact Len Thompson #6 spoon carries the legacy of a Canadian brand that has been in production since 1929. The brass body is finished with the classic red and white striped pattern on its face, while the reverse side features a polished gold surface stamped with "LEN THOMPSON NO. 6." At a weight of 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this lure (Product Code: 12066) is engineered for balance, allowing for a slow wobbling movement that mimics the appearance of a small minnow. The hardware is solid, featuring a single treble hook and a strong split ring designed for durability during casting or jigging. This particular specimen is rated in 5/5 condition, presenting a clean finish on both the painted and metal surfaces. Primarily used for targeting species like trout, salmon, or perch, the design has remained a reliable standard for anglers for decades.
