Museum Archive: Blue Fox Pixee , 1/2oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #1008

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this heavy-gauge brass spoon is a classic specimen of the Blue Fox Pixee, identified by product code 1008. The most distinctive feature is the bright orange simulated egg-sac insert, a patented design element crafted to mimic salmon roe against the reflective nickel-plated body. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the lure's dense construction is specifically intended for long-distance casting, making it a reliable choice for reaching distance in windy coastal conditions or large river systems. This specimen is unused and remains in its original vintage packaging, which earns it a condition rating of 6. The reverse side of the packaging provides technical guidance for different environments, suggesting a tumbling retrieve for river pockets where steelhead and salmon hold, or a varied speed retrieve for lake-dwelling pike and muskie. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook attached via a heavy-duty split ring, and the nickel finish retains its original luster. Expertly designed for both casting and trolling, the Pixee is built to withstand corrosion in saltwater while maintaining its functionality in freshwater streams.
