Museum Archive: Blue Fox Pixee UV, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel / Pink fishing spoon #10492

Heavy-gauge brass construction gives this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon the mass required to sink quickly into deep river pockets or punch through coastal winds. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the lure features a hammered nickel finish and a distinctive pink egg-sac insert designed to mimic roe and attract salmonids. This Pixee UV model, listed under Product Code 10492, traces its lineage back to the National Expert Bait Company before Blue Fox's acquisition and eventual integration into the Rapala group. The hardware consists of a single treble hook mounted on a sturdy split ring, designed for both fresh and saltwater applications. This specimen is in unused condition, still housed in its original 1997 packaging, which bears the traditional Blue Fox branding. Anglers often utilize these spoons for a steady retrieve in lakes or allow them to tumble naturally with the current in river environments.
