Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Flash Deep Runner, 1/8oz Nickel / Blue spinning lure #7887

Nickel / Blue scaling across the blade and fish-shaped body makes this 1/8 oz (4 g) spinner a standout example of early Blue Fox craftsmanship. Measuring 2" (5 cm), the specimen's "Deep Runner" design is centered around a weighted, fish-shaped lead body that allows the lure to reach target depths effectively during a steady retrieve. The paint on the body transitions smoothly from a vibrant blue scale pattern to a clean silver belly, complemented by a large, well-centered eye. This specific unit, identified by product code 7887, is preserved in 5/5 condition, showing a pristine finish on both the blade and the lead body. Originating from Finland, the lure features the robust wire construction and bronzed treble hook that established the brand's reputation for durability among trout and perch anglers. The blade itself is stamped with a cross-hatch scale texture that matches the body, ensuring visual consistency while retrieved.
