Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee UV, 3/4oz Hammered Nickel / Green fishing spoon #12445

Hammered nickel textures cover the 2 1/2" (6.5cm) surface of this heavy-gauge brass spoon, reflecting light in a way that mimics a panicked baitfish. Identified by product code 12445, this Blue Fox Pixee UV features a distinct green simulated salmon egg insert that is highly reactive under UV light, making it a visible target in low-light conditions. Weighing 3/4oz (24g), the lure is built for distance, easily cutting through wind to reach offshore pockets or deep river holes. Its origins trace back to the National Expert Bait Company before it was integrated into the Blue Fox lineup in the 1980s, maintaining the same high-quality construction that resists corrosion in salt water. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a clean finish and sharp, original hardware. In faster river currents, the density of the brass allows it to tumble and roll naturally along the bottom. For lake fishing, the weight facilitates deep-water retrieves or stable trolling at varying speeds. The hammered finish provides a high-contrast profile that remains effective across diverse water clarities.
