Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Pixee UV, 3/4oz Hammered Nickel / Pink fishing spoon #9460

Hammered nickel finishes on these vintage spoons provide a textured surface designed to catch and scatter light in multiple directions underwater. This Nebco Pixee UV, identified by product code 9460, weighs in at 3/4 oz (24 g) and measures 2 1/2 in (6.5 cm) in length. The distinctive physical trait of this model is the simulated salmon egg insert; while it appears as a vibrant pink or salmon hue in daylight, it is designed for high visibility in deep water. This specimen retains a clean, bright finish on its heavy-gauge brass body and shows no signs of wear on the original treble hook hardware, earning a condition rating of 5/5. The density of the lure allows for long-distance casting into coastal winds or reaching the bottom of deep river pools where steelhead and salmon congregate. Its construction is geared toward durability, featuring a solid metal frame and a securely seated plastic insert that has remained intact over the years.
