Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Flash Bait 266, 1/3oz Gold / Red fishing spoon #0951

Striking gold plating with three bold red diagonal stripes defines the visual character of this Nebco Flash Bait 266, cataloged under product code 0951. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the spoon offers a classic teardrop profile that has long been a staple for American anglers. This specimen, originating from Nebraska, USA, weighs 1/3 oz (10 g), making it a suitable choice for mid-range casting or steady trolling. The condition is rated 3/5, displaying visible signs of use through surface pitting and wear on the painted sections, which is typical for a piece of its age. Hardware includes a single large treble hook attached via a metal split ring at the wider end of the lure. A clean line-tie hole is stamped through the narrower head, completing the simple yet effective construction of this vintage metal bait.
