Vintage Nebco Aqua Spoon, 3/4oz red/black/nickel fishing spoon #22565

Stamped clearly into the polished nickel concave surface of the metal is the "NEBCO AQUA SPOON MPLS MINN U.S.A." mark, a hallmark of vintage tackle from Minneapolis. Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g), the convex side of the 3 1/2" (9 cm) spoon is coated in a vibrant red paint decorated with large, hand-applied black dots. This specific model, registered as product code 22565, retains its original silver-finished treble hook and top-mounted barrel swivel. The condition is a 4/5, displaying light storage wear and minor paint chipping along the edges that reveals the underlying nickel. Designed for casting or trolling, the heavy body provides significant presence in the water column while the nickel-plated back reflects light during the retrieve.
