Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Rattlin Pixee, 1/4oz fishing spoon #16349

A translucent red plastic insert mimics a cluster of salmon eggs in the center of this heavy-gauge brass body. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this specimen features a distinctive split-color face with chartreuse and silver scale patterns. The reverse side of the 16349 is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's mark and the specific 01-20R color code. This Rattlin' Pixee variation includes an internal rattle feature within the insert, representing a design evolution from the original 1960s versions produced by National Expert Bait (Nebco). The hardware consists of a red-finished treble hook that visually coordinates with the central egg-simulating element. Regarding condition, this lure is a solid 4/5, maintaining a vibrant finish with only minor signs of age on the metallic split rings. Its dense construction is engineered for long-distance casting into coastal winds or for maintaining a presentation within strong river currents.
