Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee , 1/2oz Pink fishing spoon #5696

Hammered pink finishes across this 1/2 oz (14 g) brass body create a distinct visual profile, characteristic of the Blue Fox Pixee series. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this lure is defined by its integrated simulated salmon egg insert, a textured fluorescent feature that has helped anglers target salmon and steelhead for decades. The heavy-gauge construction of the product code 5696 allows it to settle into deeper pockets of river water or maintain stability when trolled. Stamped clearly on the back with the Blue Fox logo, the metal shows a well-preserved surface with only minor evidence of its history in the tackle box, earning a condition rating of 4/5. Its original treble hook remains sharp and properly seated on the split ring, providing a reliable connection for casting into coastal winds or working through freshwater pools. This specimen represents the evolution of the original National Expert Bait designs, maintaining the classic proportions that made the Pixee a staple in many vintage collections.
