Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Pixee, 3/4oz Nickel/Red #18052

Weighing in at 3/4oz (24g), the heavy-gauge brass body of this Nebco Pixee is built for substantial casting distance and stability in strong river currents. This specific model, listed under Product Code 18052, measures 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and features a Nickel/Red finish with a classic hammered surface. A central simulated salmon egg insert provides a visual strike point that reveals a bright orange luminescence when exposed to UV light. Produced by National Expert Bait (Nebco) before the label became part of the Blue Fox brand, this lure reflects a legacy of durable tackle designed for everything from saltwater breakers to deep freshwater pools. It comes equipped with a corrosion-resistant treble hook, suitable for targeting pike, salmon, and steelhead. Kept in a 5/5 condition, the nickel finish retains its original luster and the insert is perfectly intact. The spoon's weight and shape allow it to tumble naturally when fished on a slack line or a steady retrieve.
