Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Super Vibrax 1, 1/8oz Brass spinning lure #0658

Stamped clearly on the reverse side of the brass blade is the "MADE IN FINLAND" mark, highlighting the European manufacturing origins of this classic spinner. Weighing 1/8oz (4g) with a total length of 2 1/4" (6cm), the lure features a distinctive bullet-shaped brass body resting against a dark spacer just above the treble hook. This specimen, identified by product code 0658, is in well-preserved condition, showing a gentle aging across its metallic surfaces that warrants a 4/5 rating. The front of the oval blade is deeply engraved with the iconic fox head logo and the "SUPER VIBRAX" name, a design known for the two-part bell construction that houses an internal gear to reduce line twist during casting and retrieval. The wire frame is neatly twisted at the top eyelet and extends through the weighted body to secure a sharp, dark-finished treble hook. You can see the characteristic knurling on the inner component of the bell, a technical detail synonymous with the Blue Fox brand's approach to minimizing hardware friction.
