Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee UV, 3/16oz Hammered Nickel / Red fishing spoon #11006

Hammered nickel creates a high-flash surface on this compact 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) heavy-gauge brass spoon. Weighing 3/16 oz (4.5 g), the Blue Fox Pixee UV features a classic teardrop profile designed to hold its own in strong river currents or deep lake pockets. The defining characteristic of this specimen, identified by product code 11006, is the central red insert shaped to simulate a salmon egg. This fluorescent element is designed to react under UV light, providing a glowing visual target in low-visibility water conditions, as demonstrated in the secondary image. Blue Fox, a brand with roots in the National Expert Bait company, built these with enough heft for long-distance casting even against coastal winds. The specimen is in excellent shape with a bright, clean finish and intact hardware, justifying a condition rating of 5/5. A sharp treble hook is attached to the rear split ring, ready for targeting trout, salmon, or bass.
