Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee , 1/2oz Gold / Fluorescent Green fishing spoon #1800

A heavy-gauge brass body finished in a hammered gold texture characterizes this specimen, cataloged under product code 1800. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 1/4 inches (5.5 cm), this Blue Fox Pixee is a versatile choice for game fish ranging from pike and muskie to salmon and steelhead. Centered in the gold frame is a fluorescent green simulated salmon egg insert, a hallmark of the Pixee design that provides visual contrast and assists with long-distance casting even against coastal winds. Stamped on the concave back is 'Blue Fox Pixee Pat. Pend.' along with the 1/2 oz weight designation, marking its production heritage in the USA. The hammered finish on the convex side is designed to scatter light as the lure tumbles and rolls through the water column. In river systems, this heavy construction helps the spoon hold steady in strong currents or tumble into deep holes. This specific piece is in 4/5 condition, showing minor surface marks consistent with its age while maintaining a bright, clean finish. It remains rigged with its original sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring.
