Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson Northern King NK28, 1/2oz Silver fishing spoon #12691

A classic hammered hex pattern covers the surface of this silver-plated brass spoon, a design intended to maximize light reflection for deep-water trolling. Weighing 1/2oz (14g) and measuring 3 3/4" (9.5cm), this Len Thompson Northern King NK28 is a well-preserved specimen identified by product code 12691. The lure is in 5/5 condition, showing a bright and clean finish characteristic of the genuine silver plating used by this Canadian manufacturer since the series was introduced in 1984. This specific model is recognized among anglers for its slow wobbling action, which is particularly effective when targeting lake trout, salmon, and steelhead. On the concave interior near the tail, the "NK 28" stamp remains crisp and clearly legible. The hardware consists of a single large hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring, with a corresponding attachment point at the head for your line or swivel.
