Museum Archive: Vintage ​Nebco Pixee , 1/8oz Hammered Nickel / Pink fishing spoon #14161

Hammered nickel finishes like the one on this 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) specimen are legendary among collectors for their high-vis light reflection during casting or trolling. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this Nebco Pixee features the iconic simulated salmon egg insert in a vibrant pink-orange hue, a signature design element from the National Expert Bait company before it evolved into the Blue Fox brand. The textured surface is designed to maximize flash, while the plastic insert provides a secondary visual trigger. Under UV light, the insert exhibits a noticeable glow, an intentional technical feature for targeting fish in low-light conditions. This specific lure, cataloged under product code 14161, is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright, clean reflective surface and original hardware. It is rigged with a robust treble hook and a brass split ring, ready for the tackle box or the display case.
