Well we said we needed a road trip....just a short get away and since both of us enjoy fishing and I am a Len Thompson Lure fishing freak as these spoons catch any species....trolling, jigging, casting....salt water, fresh water....never let me down...I will change it up but somehow always find my way back to a Len Thompson spoon of some configuration...so off we go for a four hour drive to Lacombe where the small but humble factory is and yup the worlds largest lure....just happens to be my all time favorite...a massive 5 of diamonds.
they are not giving factory tours right now but we went into the shop after stopping by the trout pond and taking a few pics....we picked up a few items....sorry cant resist as I was in heaven....could hear the spoons being made in the back...sounded like coins coming out of a slot machine....if you are ever wanting to go on a road trip and you enjoy fishing, heritage, history etc head out to Lacombe...
