Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee UV, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel / Red fishing spoon #7610

Hammered nickel finish patterns catch the light brilliantly across the 1/2 oz (14 g) body of this classic casting spoon. This specimen is the Blue Fox Pixee UV, featuring the signature raised plastic insert designed to simulate a cluster of salmon eggs—a visual trigger that has fooled steelhead and salmon for decades. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the heavy-gauge brass construction provides the density needed for long-distance casts even when facing stiff coastal winds. Under UV light, as shown in the secondary photograph, the red insert reacts with a distinct glow, providing a high-visibility target in deeper or stained water. Cataloged under product code 7610, the lure comes equipped with a sturdy treble hook and split ring assembly. The condition is a solid 5/5, appearing exceptionally clean with its fluorescent components perfectly intact. Its heritage traces back to the National Expert Bait Company before becoming a staple in the Blue Fox lineup, maintaining its reputation as a versatile tool for both river fishing and saltwater applications.
