Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson Northern King 28, 1/2oz Steel / Hologram fishing spoon #0113

1/2 oz (14 g) of solid brass forms the body of this Northern King 28, a trolling lure born from Len Thompson's Canadian heritage in 1984. A striking red holographic diagonal stripe slices through the steel-colored finish, complementing the hammered silver-plated upper half that catches light even in low-visibility conditions. Measuring 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) in length, this specimen (Product Code 0113) retains a clean, bright appearance rated at a 4/5 condition. The use of genuine silver plating was a technical choice by the manufacturer to ensure the spoon remained visible at the significant depths where lake trout and salmon often roam. It is equipped with a standard treble hook and a robust split ring connection.
