Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee , 1/2oz Hammered Nickel / White fishing spoon #12317

Hammered nickel textures catch the light across the 1/2 oz (14 g) body of this classic casting spoon. Featuring the signature white simulated salmon egg insert, this specimen is a prime example of the Blue Fox Pixee line, cataloged under product code 12317. The back of the heavy-gauge brass body is clearly stamped with the 'Blue Fox PIXEE PAT. PEND.' mark, reflecting its design heritage from the era when National Expert Bait (Nebco) transition to the Blue Fox brand. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the lure exhibits clean surfaces and sharp stampings, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Its weighted construction is specifically engineered for long-distance casting in lakes or staying down in the heavy currents of steelhead rivers. A secure split ring connects the original treble hook to the tail, allowing the lure to tumble and roll when fished in saltwater breakers or deep river holes.
