Hammered gold brass provides the core of this heavy-gauge spoon, a classic design from the National Expert Bait company, better known to collectors as Nebco. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this Pixee UV specimen (Product Code 17109) features the signature bumpy, simulated salmon egg insert in a vibrant UV Red. This specific insert is designed to catch light and provide a visual trigger during the tumble and roll of the retrieve. The brass body is built for long-distance casting, shaped to cut through coastal winds like a bullet. In terms of condition, this lure is a clean 5/5, showing a bright, well-preserved finish and a sharp, original treble hook. Originally produced in the USA before the brand evolved into Blue Fox, these spoons became staples for salmon and steelhead anglers who needed a heavy-gauge lure to reach deep pockets in fast-moving river currents. The UV Red insert is designed to glow prominently under specific lighting, adding a distinct optical advantage to the vintage metal frame.
