Museum Archive: Blue Fox Pixee, 3/4oz Pink / Gold (Gold Plated) fishing spoon #1274

A bright pink simulated salmon egg insert sits nestled in the center of this heavy-gauge brass body. The gold-plated finish on this 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) spoon catches the light with a hammered texture, making it a distinctive piece for collectors of the Blue Fox brand. Weighing 3/4 oz (24 g), the Pixee (Product Code 1274) is engineered for long-distance casting and effective performance in deep water or fast river currents. Its design legacy stems from the National Expert Bait company, and this specific USA-made specimen features the classic Pink / Gold color scheme intended to mimic natural forage. The silver-tone treble hook is securely attached, and the entire lure remains unused in its original blue and white blister pack. Anglers traditionally use this model for a variety of techniques, from letting it tumble into river holes to steady retrieves in saltwater surf. The packaging displays the vintage logo and provides a glimpse into the era when these lures were first becoming legends for salmon and steelhead fishing.
