Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee UV, 1/2oz Pink / Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #13471

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this classic casting spoon features a distinctive hammered nickel finish that provides multiple reflection angles underwater. The 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) heavy-gauge brass body is outfitted with a vibrant pink simulated salmon egg insert, a hallmark of the design philosophy since the brand evolved from National Expert Bait in the 1980s. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 13471, utilizes a specialized UV-reactive treatment, making the pink insert highly fluorescent under UV light—a crucial detail for deep-water presentation or overcast conditions. The hammered texture on the nickel plating is clean and bright, complemented by a sharp, dark-finished treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring. Its dense construction allows it to reach deep pockets in strong river currents or maintain stability during lake trolling. This Blue Fox Pixee UV is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, showing the durability and corrosion resistance expected from a high-quality lure of this era. The pink insert remains vivid and the nickel plating lacks any signs of wear, preserving its high-contrast visual appeal.
