Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Aqua Spoon, 3/4oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #6928

Tipping the scales at 3/4 oz (21 g), this heavy-duty casting spoon features the classic red and white striped pattern that has been a staple in tackle boxes for decades. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, the Aqua Spoon by Nebco, identified by Product Code 6928, is built on a solid metal base with a bright nickel finish on the reverse side. The back of the blade is clearly stamped with the 'AQUA SPOON' name and its 'MADE IN USA' origin, reflecting a period of robust mid-century American lure manufacturing. This specimen remains in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean, high-gloss finish on the painted surface and a reflective shine on the metal. A sharp treble hook is attached to the rear via a sturdy split ring, making it a reliable choice for heavy casting toward pike or large bass. The elongated teardrop profile and substantial weight are intended for reaching into the water column or achieving significant distance on a cast.
