Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee, 1/8oz nickel/green UV fishing spoon #18098

Weighing in at 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this compact Blue Fox Pixee spoon is a specialized tool for targeting game fish like trout and steelhead. Identified by product code 18098, the lure's construction centers on a heavy-gauge brass body finished in a classic hammered nickel. The most distinctive feature is the simulated salmon egg insert, rendered here in a vibrant green. When exposed to UV light, as captured in the secondary image, this insert glows with remarkable intensity, providing a visual trigger in low-light conditions or deeper water columns. Originally a design from National Expert Bait (Nebco) back in the 1960s, this model carries a legacy of reliability for both river casting and lake trolling. At a length of 1 1/2 inches (3.5 cm), it offers a profile that mimics small baitfish or drifting roe. The specimen is in superb condition, rated 5/5, with the nickel plating maintaining its original brilliance and the green insert remaining secure. A single, dark-finished hook is attached via a strong split ring at the rear, while a top-mounted ring facilitates connection for those casting into heavy currents.
