Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee UV, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel / Yellow fishing spoon #14555

Hammered nickel textures catch the light brilliantly on this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) spoon, a hallmark of the Blue Fox Pixee line. Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), the heavy-gauge brass body is built for long-distance casting, even when facing stiff coastal winds. This specific specimen, product code 14555, features a unique yellow insert designed to simulate a salmon egg—a feature that transitions from a bright daytime yellow to a vivid, glowing green under UV light. Originally a staple from National Expert Bait (Nebco) before the 1980s rebranding to Blue Fox, these lures have a storied history of targeting everything from steelhead and salmon to saltwater game fish. The hammered finish provides a distinct reflective surface, while the heavy construction allows it to tumble and roll through river pockets or deep lake structures. Maintaining a condition rating of 5/5, the lure appears pristine with a robust triple hook. Whether used for a straight retrieve in salt water or pumped through a freshwater hole, the design relies on its weight and simulated egg insert to draw strikes.
