Museum Archive: Len Thompson #8, 1/4oz Green Frog (Green) fishing spoon #0741

Green Frog patterning with dark, oval spots defines the finish of this Len Thompson #8 spoon, a classic design for North American freshwater fishing. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this compact 1 1/2" (4 cm) lure belongs to the Original Series and is marked with product code 0741. This specific specimen remains unused in its original factory packaging, which details the brand's long-standing history in Lacombe, Alberta, Canada, dating back to 1929. The construction facilitates a slow wobbling action during a retrieve or troll, intended to replicate the movement of a baitfish. On the reverse of the card, the Thompson-Pallister Bait Co. Ltd. branding is visible alongside the specific 'No. 8 GF' designation. The lure is fitted with a sharp treble hook, maintaining its original factory-standard hardware.
