Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee, 1/2oz nickel/pink fishing spoon #18841

Hammered nickel plating catches the light across the broad surface of this classic spoon, which features the signature simulated salmon egg insert in a soft pink hue. Stamping on the back clearly identifies this specimen as the Blue Fox Pixee, complete with 'PAT.' and 'PEND.' marks alongside the weight rating. At 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 1/4 inches (5.5 cm), the heavy-gauge brass body provides the heft needed for long-distance casting or deep-water trolling in river currents. This particular lure, carrying product code 18841, maintains a high-quality finish and solid hardware, including a sharp treble hook and strong split ring. The condition is excellent, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean surfaces and intact insert. Originally a staple of the National Expert Bait company before becoming part of the Blue Fox line, the Pixee design remains a favorite for targeting salmon, steelhead, and trout in both fresh and salt water. The brass construction is naturally resistant to corrosion, preserving the integrity of the metal under the nickel finish.
