Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Aqua Spoon, 1/4oz Red / Black / Nickel fishing spoon #14745

Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the classic teardrop profile of this Nebco Aqua Spoon features a vibrant red finish punctuated by bold black dots. A weight of 1/4oz (7g) makes it a versatile choice for casting or trolling, especially given how the red pigment reacts with a distinct glow under ultraviolet light. The reverse side reveals a bright nickel plating, providing a high-contrast visual that was a hallmark of Nebco’s American manufacturing. A small, honest chip in the finish is visible near the bottom edge, but the specimen remains well-preserved overall, earning a 4/5 condition rating. Identified by Product Code 14745, the lure retains its original-style treble hook and split ring hardware.
