Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco ​Aqua Spoon, 3/5oz fishing spoon #15045

Stamping on the concave side clearly identifies this 3/5 oz (17 g) metal piece as a Flash Bait variant, even though it carries the Aqua Spoon name and product code 15045. Measuring 3 inches (7.5 cm) in length, the spoon displays a bright silver finish that remains highly reflective across its teardrop-shaped surface. The interior face is marked with the Nebco brand logo and 'MDRS. 8 M...', signaling its origins in mid-century USA craftsmanship. Hardware consists of a large, sharp treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring at the trailing end, making it a reliable choice for traditional casting or trolling applications. With a condition rating of 4/5, the metal is exceptionally clean, showing only very light signs of its age without significant wear. A single line-tie hole is positioned at the narrow nose of the blade to ensure a secure connection during use.
