Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco FlashBait 266, 1/3oz Hammered Gold fishing spoon #8214

Hammered gold texture across the front face reflects light from multiple angles, distinguishing this vintage spoon from smoother alternatives. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the Nebco FlashBait 266 offers a classic teardrop profile well-suited for casting. The reverse side remains smooth and carries a clear stamp reading 'NEBCO FLASHBAIT MPLS MINN,' confirming its origin from Minneapolis, Minnesota. At 1/3 oz (10 g), the weight of this metal spoon provides substantial density for distance casting. This specific piece, cataloged under product code 8214, remains in excellent condition with a rating of 5/5. It features a sharp treble hook secured by a split ring at the rear and a pre-drilled line attachment hole at the nose.
