Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Pixee, 1/2oz hammered nickel/red fishing spoon #18183

Hammered nickel textures on the heavy-gauge brass body catch the light from every angle, making this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon a standout in any clear-water run. This Nebco Pixee, cataloged as product code 18183, features a distinctive simulated salmon egg insert in a vibrant fluorescent red. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the lure’s dense construction allows it to be fished effectively in strong river currents or cast deep into saltwater surf. The reverse side bears the authentic "Nebco Pixee Pat." stamp alongside its Reno, Nevada roots, marking its heritage before the brand transitioned to Blue Fox. Rated at a 4/5 condition, the finish remains bright and the original dark treble hook is securely attached via a sturdy split ring. This heavy-gauge spoon is designed for long-distance casting and is capable of reaching deep pockets in lakes or tumbling through river holes during a controlled retrieve.
