Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee UV, 1/4oz hammered nickel/pink fishing spoon #18396

Hammered nickel finish defines the textured surface of this 2" (5 cm) spoon, designed to reflect light in various water conditions. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the heavy-gauge brass body provides the mass needed for long-distance casting even into coastal winds. A central insert in a vibrant pink hue serves as a simulated salmon egg cluster, a specific design choice for targeting salmon and steelhead. Product code 18396 belongs to the Pixee UV series, and as captured in the additional imagery, the center element transitions to a bright orange-red glow when exposed to UV light or low-light environments. The hardware includes a durable split ring and a sharp treble hook, both appearing in excellent state. Rated at 5/5, the lure shows a clean, reflective surface and crisp detail in the hammered metalwork. This specimen is intended for a variety of techniques, including river casting where it can tumble into deep pockets, or lake trolling at consistent speeds.
