Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson NK 28, 1/2oz silver/copper fishing spoon #20728

Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), the brass body of this Canadian-made Northern King model provides the heft required for effective trolling. Crafted by Len Thompson, a manufacturer with nearly a century of history, the NK 28 was first introduced to the angling community in 1984. This specific specimen, identified by product code 20728, features a genuine silver-plated exterior designed to maximize flash in deeper water. The reverse side showcases a contrasting copper-toned finish featuring a stamped hexagonal scale pattern and light dark speckling. Measuring 3 3/4" (9.5 cm), the spoon bears the original "NK 28" stamp near the lower split ring. The lure is equipped with a large single hook and is rated at a 4/5 condition, maintaining a high level of finish across both its hammered and textured surfaces.
