Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Pixee UV, 1/2oz Gold / Green fishing spoon #7612

Hammered brass construction gives this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon a distinct textural profile that catches light across its 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) length. The simulated salmon egg insert in a bright fluorescent green is a hallmark of the Pixee design, specifically engineered to provide a visual trigger for game fish like salmon and steelhead. Designed for long-distance casting even in coastal winds, the heavy gauge of the body allows it to reach deep pockets in fast-moving river currents or maintain its position during a steady lake retrieve. This specific specimen, bearing product code 7612, showcases the classic Gold / Green finish in 5/5 condition. Originally born from the National Expert Bait company before transitioning to the Blue Fox brand in the 1980s, the lure's UV-reactive properties provide an added dimension in low-light or deep-water conditions. It comes equipped with a sturdy treble hook attached via a robust split ring, ensuring it stands up to the corrosive nature of saltwater environments.
