Museum Archive: Vintage Len Thompson Northern King NK MAG, 3/5oz fishing spoon #22684

Brass construction provides the foundation for this 3/5oz (17g) trolling spoon, ensuring it tracks effectively when pulled through the water column. The front face is finished in a bold black with a diagonal red and yellow wave pattern, a classic look for the Northern King NK MAG, identified by product code 22684. This series was first brought to the market by Len Thompson in 1984, utilizing a 4 1/2" (11.5cm) stamped body intended for big water applications. The reverse side features a white enamel finish that displays some light, authentic wear from its time in the tackle box, maintaining a solid 4/5 condition. Originally manufactured to utilize silver plating for enhanced visibility at greater depths, these lures are built to withstand the rigors of heavy tackle. A sharp treble hook is attached via a heavy-duty split ring, mirroring the hardware found at the line tie.
