Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee, 3/4oz yellow/gold fishing spoon #22261

Hammered brass plating and a bright yellow/gold finish define the surface of this classic Blue Fox Pixee spoon. A distinctive lime-yellow plastic insert is embedded in the center, a design choice specifically intended to simulate salmon eggs and attract big-game fish in clear or moving water. On the reverse side, the spoon is clearly stamped with "Blue Fox PIXEE" and includes a 7/8 oz marking and the 01-40 model designation. This particular specimen, identified by Product Code 22261, measures 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length and carries a weight of 3/4 oz (24 g). Originally part of the National Expert Bait (Nebco) lineage before the brand became Blue Fox in the 1980s, the Pixee remains a heavy-duty choice for casting in large rivers or trolling in lakes. The hardware includes a high-quality silver treble hook and durable split rings, designed for securing heavy river trout or salmon. The condition is a solid 5/5, showing a clean body with vibrant color and a preserved reflective hammered texture.
