Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee , 3/16oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #3442

A vibrant orange simulated salmon egg insert sits recessed within the hammered nickel body of this Blue Fox Pixee, creating a visual trigger long proven for salmon and steelhead. This specific specimen, identified by product code 3442, measures 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) and weighs 3/16 oz (4.5 g). The heavy-gauge brass construction provides the necessary density for long-distance casting through coastal winds or reaching deep river pockets. On the reverse, the metal is stamped with the manufacturer's hallmark, reflecting its history from when Blue Fox continued the legacy of the original Nebco designs. The hammered texture is designed to catch light from multiple angles, while the orange insert mimics a drifting egg in the current. All hardware, including the split ring and treble hook, appears well-maintained, earning an excellent 5/5 rating. Its build allows it to tumble and roll into holes when fished in rivers or maintain a steady track during a retrieve in saltwater environments.
