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.  Sean Dyer (September 2002)
