Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Pixee UV, 1/2oz Nickel / Pink fishing spoon #15014

Nickel plating over a heavy-gauge brass body gives this 1/2 oz (14g) spoon the necessary density to punch through coastal winds and reach deep river pockets where big game fish hide. The hammered finish on the main body surrounds a unique pink, simulated salmon egg insert, creating a profile that measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length. Under low-light conditions or deep-water presentations, the UV-reactive properties of the pink insert glow intensely, as seen in the accompanying dark-room imagery. This specific Nebco Pixee UV, identified by product code 15014, features a dark-finished treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring, ensuring it is ready for the high-impact strikes of steelhead or salmon. Originating from the National Expert Bait Company before it became the legendary Blue Fox brand, this lure reflects a design philosophy centered on long-distance casting and durability in both fresh and salt water. This specimen is currently unused and appears in factory-new condition.
