Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee UV, 1/8oz Nickel/pink UV glows fishing spoon #17030

Hammered nickel surfaces on this heavy-gauge brass body provide a classic light-reflecting flash that has been a staple in salmon and trout boxes for decades. This 1/8oz (3.5g) specimen, cataloged under product code 17030, features the signature simulated salmon egg insert in a pink UV glow finish that radiates a bright orange under ultraviolet light. Produced by Blue Fox, the design traces its lineage back to the National Expert Bait Company, known for creating lures capable of punching through coastal winds. The spoon is built for versatile presentations, including casting across river pockets or trolling in lake environments for game fish like steelhead and pike. Scoring a 5/5, the lure is unused and retains its original luster across the dimpled metal and plastic insert. The hardware includes a durable split ring at the nose and a sharp, dark-nickel treble hook at the tail, ensuring it is ready for the water or a collector's display. Each curve of the spoon is designed to facilitate a tumbling and rolling motion when given slack line, mimicking a drifting egg cluster or baitfish.
