Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Pixee, 1/4oz Hammered Nickel / Pink fishing spoon #8874

Hammered nickel facets cover the heavy-gauge brass body of this 1/4 oz (7 g) Nebco Pixee spoon, providing a complex flash pattern that mimics distressed baitfish. Measuring 2 inches (5 cm) in length, this specimen features a vibrant pink simulated salmon egg insert that acts as a luminous glow-in-the-dark target for low-light situations. This specific model, identified by Product Code 8874, showcases the craftsmanship from the National Expert Bait Company, a manufacturer whose designs eventually became staples under the Blue Fox label. The heavy brass construction is specifically engineered for long-distance casting into strong currents or through coastal winds, allowing the lure to reach deep pockets and holes in river beds. A robust treble hook is secured to the tail with a quality split ring, making it a reliable tool for targeting everything from steelhead to saltwater species. Maintaining a rating of 5/5, the lure is in exceptional condition with its original high-polish finish and the integrity of the plastic insert fully intact.
