Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Aqua Spoon, 1/2oz Green / Black / Nickel fishing spoon #9890

Vibrant fluorescent green paint and bold black spots define the visual identity of this 1/2oz (14g) casting lure. Produced by Nebco under the product code 9890, the Aqua Spoon features a specialized UV-reactive finish that glows when exposed to low-light conditions or ultraviolet rays. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the stamped metal body is paired with a polished nickel finish on the reverse, creating a sharp contrast against the neon topcoat. This USA-manufactured specimen is rated in 5/5 condition, featuring its original hardware including the split ring and a sharp treble hook. Anglers often utilize these high-visibility patterns when targeting salmon or trout in deeper water or during overcast days where the UV glow provides a distinct silhouette. The teardrop profile is designed for distance casting, making it a functional example of vintage American tackle technology.
