Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee UV, 1/2oz Hammered Copper / Pink fishing spoon #12447

Hammered copper surfaces on this heavy-gauge brass body provide a distinct flash, mimicking the scales of distressed forage in various light conditions. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this Blue Fox Pixee UV is a specialized tool for reaching deep river holes or casting into coastal winds for salmon, steelhead, and pike. The defining characteristic is the simulated salmon egg insert in a vibrant pink, which demonstrates a high-intensity glow under UV light. This specific specimen, identified by product code 12447, features the classic Hammered Copper / Pink color combination. Originating from a design legacy that traces back to the National Expert Bait company in the 1960s, this USA-made spoon relies on its dense construction to tumble and roll through heavy currents where lighter lures might fail to hold depth. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring at the base. Its condition is rated at 5/5, showing a very clean finish and bright insert coloration.
