Stamped on the back of the heavy-gauge brass body is the designation "NO. 42 1/2 OZ. PAT. PEND.", identifying this classic piece of American tackle history. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this Nebco Pixee spoon features the iconic textured orange plastic insert designed to simulate a salmon egg—a feature that has made this lure a staple for steelhead and salmon anglers since its early days under the National Expert Bait label. Produced under the Blue Fox brand (Product Code: 1958), the gold-finished brass provides significant density for casting into coastal winds or reaching the bottom of fast-moving river pools. The specimen is in a well-preserved 4/5 condition, showing a bright finish on the metal and a secure, vibrant insert. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, suitable for the high-impact strikes of pike, muskie, or saltwater game fish. Because of its weight-to-size ratio, it is intended for techniques where depth and casting distance are primary requirements, such as working deep lake structures or tumbling through heavy river currents.
