Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco FlashBait 266, 1/3oz Hammered Copper / Red UV Glow in UV light, Fluorescent fishing spoon #3998

Hammered copper textures create a distinct visual contrast against the vibrant fluorescent red finish on the face of this 1/3 oz (10 g) spoon. Originating from Minneapolis, the Nebco FlashBait 266, designated by product code 3998, features a classic teardrop profile measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length. The front side is finished with diagonal stripes designed to react under UV light, while the reverse side showcases a smooth copper surface clearly stamped with the "NEBCO" and "FLASH BAIT" markings. This specimen remains in excellent condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean metallic luster and intact paint. For rigging, the narrow head features a precision-drilled eyelet, while the wider tail is fitted with a split ring and a sharp treble hook.
