Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Rattlin Pixee, 3/4oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #12245

Nickel plating with a distinct wavy reflective pattern covers the heavy brass body of this 3/4 oz (24 g) spoon. Measuring 2 1/2 inches (6.5 cm) in length, this Blue Fox Rattlin Pixee, identified by product code 12245, features a central blue insert designed to mimic salmon eggs while housing an internal rattle. This specific model, stamped with the code 01-40R-7/8 on its reverse, remains in exceptional condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean surfaces and bright finish. Developed for long-distance casting even in coastal winds, the heavy-gauge construction allows it to reach depths in strong river currents or deeper lake pockets. The back of the lure clearly displays the Blue Fox logo alongside the 'RATTLIN PIXEE' designation, confirming its heritage as a tool for targeting steelhead, salmon, and pike. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook attached via a split ring at the tail, while the head is fitted with another split ring for easy attachment to a snap swivel. It functions equally well in freshwater or saltwater environments, whether cast into river pools to roll along the bottom or trolled at varied speeds in open water.
