Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee, 1/2oz Gold/pink fishing spoon #17032

Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this classic spoon provides substantial casting weight for targeting trophy game fish across varied environments. At 1/2 oz (14 g), the heavy-gauge brass body features a bright gold plating with a hammered texture, paired with a vibrant pink simulated salmon egg insert. This Blue Fox Pixee, identified by Product Code: 17032, represents a design lineage that traces back to National Expert Bait (Nebco) before the brand became part of the Blue Fox family in the 1980s. The gold/pink color scheme is highly regarded for steelhead and salmon, though its robust construction makes it equally suitable for pike, muskie, or saltwater applications. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook and split rings designed to resist corrosion and handle strong currents. When used in rivers, the lure is designed to tumble and roll into deep pockets, and it also maintains its darting characteristics when trolled or retrieved at varying speeds in lakes. This specimen is preserved in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean finish on the metal and the plastic insert.
