Stamping into the metal reveals the 1/2 oz (14 g) weight of this Canadian-made brass spoon, a weight that pairs effectively with its 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) length. This particular Northern King NK 28 (Product Code: 20457) showcases the signature hammered texture that Len Thompson implemented to catch light as it travels through the water column. Introduced in 1984, the NK series was specifically designed for trolling, utilizing genuine silver plating to maintain a bright flash even at depths where other finishes might dim. The silver-colored surface remains in 5/5 condition, showing the high-quality finish expected from a company with nearly a century of manufacturing history. Attached to the rear is a robust treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring, ready for large game fish. The thin-profile brass blank allows for versatile trolling speeds while maintaining structural integrity. Small "28" and "NK" stamps are clearly visible near the eyelet, confirming its place in the venerable Len Thompson lineup.
