Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson Northern King 28 UV, 1/2oz Black / Red / Gold / Silver fishing spoon #5225

Crafted from solid brass, the hammered silver plating on the reverse of this trolling spoon is designed to maintain high visibility in deep-water environments. Measuring 3 3/4" (9.5cm) and weighing 1/2oz (14g), the Len Thompson Northern King 28 UV (Product Code 5225) joined the lineup in 1984 as a dedicated trolling tool. The face features a bold black foundation accented by wavy red and gold stripes, with the entire pattern engineered for UV reactivity. Showing minimal signs of previous use, this specimen is rated 4/5, retaining its glossy finish and clean metallic surfaces. The interior side utilizes a dimpled texture to catch and throw light, a specific feature of the series intended to mimic the flash of baitfish. It comes rigged with a sturdy silver-tone treble hook and is ready for long-line trolling for salmon or lake trout.
