Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Super Vibrax 2 Minnow, 1/4oz Green / Yellow / Orange spinning lure #0227

Stamped clearly on the back of the brass blade is the "MADE IN FINLAND" origin mark, a hallmark of the Rapala era for these Blue Fox lures. This 1/4 oz (8 g) specimen features a classic minnow-style body transitioning from a vibrant green back to a bright yellow belly, finished with bold black vertical stripes. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the design of the Super Vibrax 2 Minnow (Product Code 0227) combines the profile of a small baitfish with the low-frequency vibrations generated by its extra-wide spinner blade. The blade is decorated with a matching high-visibility yellow and orange gradient, featuring a distinct tiger-stripe pattern to enhance visual contrast. Showing light signs of previous adventures, the specimen maintains a bright finish and solid hardware, resulting in a condition rating of 4/5. This hybrid construction is particularly suited for casting or swinging across currents, where the weight of the body helps maintain depth while the blade provides mechanical flash. The lure is rigged with a single bronze-finished treble hook connected by a durable split ring at the tail.
