Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Super Vibrax 0, 1/8oz Silver spinning lure #16617

Stamped clearly into the silver-plated blade is the iconic Blue Fox fox-head logo, accompanied by the size 0 designation and "Super Vibrax" branding. This compact specimen weighs 1/8 oz (3.4 g) and measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), making it a versatile choice for anglers targeting trout, perch, or panfish. The French-made construction is evident in the precise machining of the silver bullet-shaped bell, which is designed to emit low-frequency vibrations as the internal gear contacts the outer shell. Its silver finish provides high flash, a traditional choice for clear-water visibility. The wire frame remains straight and features a securely turned loop for line attachment, while the treble hook is sharp and structurally sound. This lure sits at a 5/5 condition rating, showing a remarkably clean and preserved surface across all metal components. The brass clevis is positioned to allow the blade to rotate freely against the bell-shaped body, a technical feature specifically engineered by Blue Fox to minimize line twist during use.
