Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Super Vibrax 2, 3/16oz Gold spinning lure #8317

Gold plating covers the entire surface of this classic size 2 spinner, from its stamped blade to the iconic bell-shaped body. Tipping the scales at 3/16 oz (6 g), this Blue Fox Super Vibrax 2 features the early "US PAT PENDING" stamp on the reverse side of the blade, a detail collectors often look for in these Finland-made originals. The blade itself is clearly marked with the signature fox head logo and the number 2, signifying its 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) length. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 8317, remains in excellent condition with a 5/5 rating, showing only the lightest hints of handling on its brass components. The two-part body design is engineered to allow the internal gear to strike the outer bell, a construction choice that defines the Vibrax line and distinguishes it from standard inline spinners. A sharp treble hook is attached via a sturdy wire shaft, ready for a casting or trolling setup in both still and moving waters.
