Len Thompson Lures
www.lenthompson.com
We have been producing top quality fishing lures since 1929.
Classic color patterns and irresistible action continue to be the
keys to the Len Thompson tradition of reliability and versatility.
Yes, we claim Len Thompson spoons are the best. Granted, we are
biased. Len Thompson was our grandfather so our opinions were
formed at an early age. However, it's not only we who make that
claim. We've been told countless times by lodge owners, guides,
and experienced anglers that Len Thompson lures consistently
outperform all other brands. Troll a Len Thompson on one side and
an "x" (insert the name of any other brand name spoon) on the
other and the Len Thompson side will catch more fish. The reason
is because of action.
Our grandfather carried a file and ball peen hammer in his tackle
box until his last fishing trip. He continually tweaked his
product until he ultimately settled on a shape that allowed the
spoon to give a strike-enticing wobble through the greatest range
of speeds. We haven't significantly changed that shape since the
1950's. Sure, you can catch fish with other spoons, but Len
Thompsons are the best.
Yellow and Red five-of-diamonds is our best selling pattern. We
aren't exactly sure why it is so productive, but it's our opinion
that the high contrast paint job triggers aggressive, territorial
behavior in almost all gamefish. All Len Thompson paint jobs are
high contrast. Subtle isn't in our nature, nor generally in the
nature of the fish hooked on our product. We believe patterns like
Nickel, Brass, or Nickel Blue could possibly be perceived as prey,
but if anyone can explain how a stream trout sipping only size 18
mayflies can confuse that food source with a No. 00 YR spoon, we'd
like to hear the answer.
Sean Dyer raves: Another successful trip at Way North Lodge in
Northwestern Ontario using the #4 Five of Diamonds. It clearly out
fished everything else at the lodge. I caught about 25, 36 to 45
inch pike in one week using the Len Thompson. I don't know what it
is but your lures seem to wake up the big guys. Thanks again.
