Museum Archive: Blue Fox Strobe, 1/4oz Rainbow Trout fishing spoon #2847

Rainbow Trout patterns on this Blue Fox Strobe combine a vibrant green hue with a series of red and blue dots over a laser holographic finish. At a length of 1 3/4" (4.5cm) and a weight of 1/4oz (7g), the brass stamped construction is chrome plated to ensure a lasting reflective surface. The packaging, marked with product code 2847, notes that these spoons are designed for both casting and trolling. This particular specimen is unused, still sealed in its original retail blister pack, though the packaging displays minor shelf wear from years of storage. It carries high-quality Rapala VMC premium hooks, a standard for Blue Fox Tackle Co. during this era of production in Minnetonka, Minnesota. The teardrop design includes a printed pattern intended for maximum flash, with the rear of the card highlighting its ability to tumble and flutter while moving through the water.
