Len Thompson is responsible for thousands of young anglers catching their first fish over many years. I know I caught my first fish on one. Hands down LT spoons are a staple in the tackle box.

Imagine... if they ever drained the lakes and rivers it would reveal thousands of len thompsons of all eras snagged on something.

Back in the early 60's folks caught someone at wizard lake that put a heavy rope tied to heavy weighted pails across the shoreline where lots of fishermen casted. Someone figured they were going to hook onto the snag that kept taking hooks and ended up pulling up the large rope full of len thompson spoons and old heddon plugs. The hook snagger thief was caught.
