Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee UV , 1/2oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #16114

Heavy-gauge brass construction forms the backbone of this specimen, providing the necessary heft for punching through coastal winds while remaining stable in strong river currents. This 1/2oz (14g) Blue Fox Pixee UV, identified by product code 16114, measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and features a high-visibility hammered nickel finish. Centered in the body is a textured orange insert designed to simulate salmon eggs, a design element tracing back to the lure's heritage with National Expert Bait (Nebco) in the 1960s. Under ultraviolet light, this specific orange insert reacts with a vivid glow, assisting anglers in deep-water trolling or low-light casting for steelhead and salmon. The hardware is in remarkable shape, with the original treble hook and split rings appearing sharp and clean, warranting a 5/5 condition rating. Depending on the retrieve speed or current, the spoon is engineered for darting, wobbling, and rolling motions.
