Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee , 3/4oz nickel/pink fishing spoon #23397

Hammered nickel textures across the body catch light in deep water, while the reverse bears the clear stamp "Blue Fox PIXEE PAT. GL-45 3/4 OZ". This 3/4 oz (24 g) casting spoon features a signature textured pink plastic insert, an intentional visual element meant to mimic salmon roe. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the lure is built on a heavy cast brass body that has been a favorite for river and lake fishing since the 1960s. The piece is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, and shows no signs of wear on its silver-toned finish or sharp treble hook. Originally produced by National Expert Bait (Nebco) before the brand became Blue Fox in the 1980s, this design carries a long history of success for salmon, trout, and pike. Identified by product code 23397, the lure is fitted with a durable treble hook and split ring suitable for heavy-duty freshwater or saltwater use. The density of the brass core makes it particularly suited for reaching depth quickly in moving currents or achieving long-distance casts from the shore.
