In 2019, in celebration of their 90th anniversary in business, Len Thompson Lures installed the world’s largest lure just up the road from the factory in Lacombe, Alberta. The monument measures in at 40 feet 5.25 inches, nearly 25 feet longer than the previous world record. To break the dimensions down even further, the spoon itself is 27.5 feet long and 9.5 feet wide. The treble hook is 14 feet long and 8 feet wide. Lacombe’s lure was painted with Len Thompson’s most popular pattern, the Yellow and Red Five of Diamonds®. It was approved as the world’s largest fishing lure by Guinness World Records in 2020, however this year they were surprised and very excited to see the lure published in the Guinness World Record book for 2022 on page 99.
