Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco FlashBait 2662, 1/4oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #9268

Hammered nickel plating gives this 2" (5 cm) spoon a distinct reflective surface, catching light across its many dimpled facets. Coming out of the USA, this Nebco FlashBait 2662 (product code 9268) is a solid example of mid-century metal lure craftsmanship. The 1/4 oz (8 g) weight provides enough mass for accurate casting into structures or for use in light trolling setups. Flipping it over reveals a smooth, polished backside stamped with the Flash-Bait name, showing the contrast between the textured front and the clean reverse. The hardware includes sturdy brass-toned split rings at both ends, securing a sharp treble hook that remains in excellent shape. Rated at a 5/5, the metal finish is exceptionally clean, retaining its original shine without significant wear or oxidation.
