Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee UV, 3/4oz Hammered gold/pink UV fishing spoon #16633

Weighing 3/4oz (24g), the heavy-gauge brass construction of this spoon allows for significant casting distances even when facing stiff coastal winds. A hammered gold finish across the body creates a textured surface that reflects light at multiple angles. This Blue Fox Pixee UV, identified by product code 16633, measures 2 1/2" (6.5cm) and features the iconic pink plastic insert meant to simulate a salmon egg. As seen in the secondary image, the UV-reactive properties of this insert make it glow brightly, offering a high-visibility point in deep or turbid water. Historically rooted in the National Expert Bait (Nebco) catalog before joining Blue Fox, this design is a specialist for salmon, steelhead, and pike in heavy river currents. Its physical weight helps it reach the bottom of deep holes where trophy fish hold. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a clean finish and a sturdy treble hook attached via a robust split ring. The lure's design is intended for casting and trolling, where a steady retrieve or rod pumps allow the brass body to tumble through the water column.
