Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Super Vibrax 0, 1/8oz Silver spinning lure #16869

A vibrant lime green coating covers the weighted bell body of this size 0 French-made spinner. This 1/8 oz (3.4 g) lure measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and features a silver-finished blade stamped with the classic fox head emblem. Identified by product code 16869, the specimen shows light signs of previous use, specifically some paint loss on the weighted core and minor darkening of the metal on the treble hook, earning a condition rating of 4/5. The construction centers on a stainless steel wire shaft, housing a brass clevis that holds the blade in place above the internal bell mechanism. This design is engineered to create the signature low-frequency sound of the Super Vibrax series as the blade rotates. A single bronze-finished treble hook is attached at the tail, completing the setup for trout or panfish applications.
