Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco FlashBait 366, 1/16oz Red / White / Brass fishing spoon #4876

Measuring a compact 1 1/4" (3.4 cm), the Nebco FlashBait 366 displays a classic red and white diagonal stripe finish on its front face. This specific color scheme has been a staple in tackle boxes for decades, valued for its high visibility across different water clarities. Flipping the lure over reveals the stamped brass back, which proudly bears the manufacturer’s mark and the "MADE IN USA" origin. The product code 4876 identifies this 1/16 oz (1.9 g) piece within the Nebco catalog, specifically designed for trolling applications. The hardware is comprised of a single treble hook attached via a split ring, paired with a clean line-tie hole at the tapered nose. Showing light signs of previous use on the painted surface and brass body, this specimen is rated at 4/5 condition. The stamped lettering on the reverse provides an authentic touch of craftsmanship from a bygone era of American tackle manufacturing.
