Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Aqua Spoon UV, 3/4oz Nickel / Pink fishing spoon #12777

Fluorescent finishes define the character of this Nebco Aqua Spoon UV, which exhibits a high-visibility surface designed to react when exposed to ultraviolet light. Stamped in the USA, the metal body weighs 3/4 oz (21 g) and measures 3 1/2" (9 cm), offering a substantial profile for deep-water or low-light scenarios. The specific Nickel / Pink coloration, listed under product code 12777, presents a saturated hue that transitions into a fiery glow under UV light as shown in secondary imaging. It features a heavy-duty treble hook at the tail and a clean line-attachment hole at the nose, showcasing standard hardware for the era. The condition is a solid 5/5, with the paint and metal surfaces remaining clean and free of significant wear. This Aqua Spoon reflects a period where manufacturers began integrating specialized light-reactive coatings into traditional casting hardware.
