Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee UV, 1/2oz nickel/pink UV fishing spoon #21394

Hammered nickel finishes like the one on this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon are legendary for catching light even in stained water. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), this specimen remains in excellent 5/5 condition, featuring the distinct "Blue Fox Pixee Pat. Pend." stamping clearly visible on its concave side. The defining feature is the textured pink UV plastic insert, designed to mimic a cluster of salmon eggs—a design choice that has made the Pixee a staple for Pacific Northwest and Alaskan river fishing since its origins with National Expert Bait. Built with a heavy cast brass body, product code 21394 carries significant weight for its size, allowing for long-distance casting or deep-water trolling for species like salmon, trout, and walleye. The hardware includes a robust treble hook and a strong split ring, typical of the durable construction seen in these older USA-made models.
