Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Flash Deep Runner, 1/8oz Light Blue spinning lure #8967

Light blue scale patterns decorate both the blade and the body of this 1/8 oz (4 g) spinner, highlighting its classic Finnish design. The Blue Fox Flash Deep Runner, carrying product code 8967, features a 2" (5 cm) profile built around a weighted body shaped like a small baitfish. This body includes a realistic painted eye and an orange-tinted head area that matches the highlight found at the top of the willow-leaf blade. While the front of the blade displays the intricate blue and silver scale motif, the reverse is finished in plain polished silver. A brass-colored clevis allows the blade to rotate freely around the silver wire frame, which connects to a single treble hook via a split ring. The condition is rated at 5/5, as the specimen is exceptionally clean with vibrant paint and bright metal hardware. Fine cross-hatching on the metal surfaces adds a layer of visual complexity to the lure's construction.
