Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Pixee UV, 3/4oz Nickel / Pink fishing spoon #13673

Hammered nickel plating gives this heavy-gauge brass body a textured surface that reflects light in every direction, a classic feature of the Nebco legacy. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), this spoon is famously built with a simulated salmon egg insert that provides a concentrated strike point. While the insert appears as a vibrant pink in natural light, its UV properties become evident under specific conditions, glowing intensely to trigger strikes in deep or murky water. This 3/4 oz (24 g) specimen, cataloged under product code 13673, is weighted for long-distance casting into heavy winds or deep river holes where it can tumble naturally across the bottom. The hardware is robust, featuring a high-quality treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. This specific lure shows very little wear and maintains its original luster, warranting a condition rating of 4/5.
