Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco /Blue Fox FlashBait 66, 3/4oz Nickel/pink UV glows fishing spoon #16944

Heavy nickel plating provides the structural foundation for the vibrant pink UV finish on this 3/4oz (21g) FlashBait 66. Representing the transitional period immediately following the renaming of Nebco to Blue Fox, this specimen is a notable piece of USA-made fishing history. The spoon’s face is finished in a high-visibility fluorescent red-pink, accented by a series of bold black dots that stand out sharply against the background. Under low-light conditions, the UV properties allow the body to glow intensely, a feature that remains fully functional on this model 16944. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm), the lure is equipped with a robust treble hook and high-tensile split rings. A stamped logo is clearly visible near the bottom edge, confirming its pedigree. The lure presents in beautiful condition, rated at 4/5 with a clean, well-preserved finish and sharp hardware that show very little sign of its age.
