Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee UV​, 3/16oz Hammered Nickel / Yellow fishing spoon #5576

A hammered nickel finish gives the 3/16oz (4.5g) brass body of this spoon a distinct texture designed to catch light in varied water conditions. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5cm), the Pixee features a unique fluorescent yellow insert designed to simulate a cluster of salmon eggs. This particular specimen, assigned product code 5576, remains in excellent condition (5/5), showing a clean surface and well-maintained hardware. The UV Glow properties in the yellow insert enhance visibility under UV light, providing an edge in stained water or low-light casting scenarios. Originally a staple from National Expert Bait (Nebco) before the Blue Fox era, these heavy-gauge brass lures are balanced for distance, cutting through coastal winds with ease. In the water, the design is capable of darting, wobbling, and rolling, allowing it to tumble naturally into river pockets when fished off the bottom. A sturdy dark-finished treble hook is attached to the tail, while the nose split ring is ready for a snap swivel connection.
