Hammered nickel surfaces define the face of this Nebco Pixee, reflecting light through a series of dimples that surround a vibrant pink plastic insert. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this specific specimen carries the product code 18104. The back of the heavy-gauge brass body is clearly stamped with "Nebco PIXEE No. 42 1/2 oz PEND," confirming its vintage National Expert Bait origin before the brand transitioned to Blue Fox. This particular lure features a simulated salmon egg insert in a bright pink hue, designed to catch the eye of steelhead and salmon in various light conditions. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring, showing the quality construction intended for resisting corrosion in both fresh and salt water. With a condition rating of 5/5, the plating remains bright and the plastic insert is securely seated without any signs of degradation. Its dense design allows for long casts even when facing coastal winds, making it a staple for anglers targeting trophy game fish in deep pools or fast-moving river currents. The stamped details on the reverse side are crisp and legible, indicating a well-preserved piece of Alaskan-style fishing history.
