Museum Archive: Nebco Tor-P-Do 2, 1/2oz Bright Pink fishing spoon #1667

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this spoon showcases the classic mid-century manufacturing style of Minneapolis-based National Expert, Inc. Measuring 2" (5.1 cm) in length, the lure features a striking Bright Pink finish often favored for salmon and steelhead. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 1667, remains unused and housed within its original vintage blister pack. The Tor-P-Do branding reflects the history of Nebco before the brand's evolution into the well-known Blue Fox lineage. Since the lure is in unused condition, the factory finish and hardware are preserved exactly as they left the Minnesota facility. The original white hook protector remains in place, shielding the treble from the carding. Designed for both casting and trolling, the heavy-profile spoon was built to target everything from pike to saltwater game fish. The packaging provides a glimpse into the lure's intended use, listing its effectiveness for deep or shallow retrieves.
