Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Pixee UV, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel / Green fishing spoon #9050

A hammered nickel finish provides maximum flash for the Pixee UV, a design from Nebco that has remained a staple in tackle boxes since the 1960s. Carrying product code 9050, this heavy brass spoon weighs a solid 1/2 oz (14 g) and measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length. Collectors of National Expert Bait Company gear will recognize the signature oval silhouette, but the real standout here is the green simulated salmon egg insert. Under UV light, as shown in the secondary imagery, this insert transitions into a bright glow, designed to catch the eye of deep-water predators. The construction is robust enough for the heavy currents of steelhead rivers or the corrosive environment of coastal saltwater fishing. With a condition rating of 5/5, the specimen is unused, maintaining its original luster on the textured surface and sharp points on the silver-tone treble hook. The heavy-gauge brass body allows for significant casting distance even in windy conditions.
