Museum Archive: Nebco FlashBait 266, 1/3oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #6801

Tipping the scales at 1/3oz (10g), the Nebco FlashBait 266 offers a substantial weight for its 2 1/4" (5.5cm) frame. This specific specimen carries the product code 6801 and remains in unused condition, still attached to its original black-and-gold mounting card. The front of the spoon features a classic diagonal red and white paint job, while the reverse displays a polished nickel finish. As a USA-made piece, the construction utilizes a robust split ring to secure a large single hook, a configuration intended for casting or trolling where minimizing snags is a priority. The 'NEBCO' name is clearly visible on the card's gold foil sticker, highlighting its American manufacturing heritage. The paint remains vibrant, with the white and red stripes maintaining crisp edges against the metal substrate. Every detail, from the simple hardware to the punch-hole card for retail display, reflects a bygone era of straightforward, effective tackle design.
