Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco FlashBait 66, 3/4oz Red / Black / Nickel fishing spoon #2638

A classic nickel-plated reverse side bears the crisp 'FLASH BAIT 66 MPLS. 8, MINN.' stamping, anchoring this specimen to its Minneapolis roots. This Nebco FlashBait 66, identified by product code 2638, weighs in at 3/4 oz (21 g) and measures 3 1/2 inches (9 cm). The lure's face is finished in a bold red with a series of black dots, a high-contrast pattern often chosen for varying water conditions. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook secured by a split ring, showing well-preserved integrity with a condition rating of 4/5. Its stamped teardrop shape is a staple for casting or trolling applications, and the USA-made construction remains bright and reflective on the polished nickel-finished side.
