Museum Archive: Nebco FlashBait 266, 1/3oz White / Black / Nickel fishing spoon #6421

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), the polished nickel body of this American-made spoon remains in its original unused state. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the Nebco FlashBait 266 (Product Code 6421) is a well-preserved piece of fishing history still attached to its black and white retail card. The nickel finish provides a high-contrast reflective surface, typical for spoons of this era intended for casting. A sharp treble hook is attached via a brass-toned split ring, showing the original hardware configuration. This specimen is rated as a 6, meaning it is unused and has been kept as a collector's item since its manufacture. The graphic on the packaging remains legible, and the metal shows no signs of wear or oxidation.
