Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Super Vibrax 3, 1/3oz Silver / Fluorescent Green spinning lure #0660

Stamping on the silver blade clearly identifies its origin in Finland, a hallmark of the quality construction expected from Blue Fox. This 1/3 oz (8.4 g) spinner, measuring 3" (7.5 cm) in total length, carries the product code 0660. The weighted bell-shaped body is finished in a bright fluorescent green, a color choice designed to maintain visibility in the deep, off-color rivers where salmon and steelhead often hold. Looking at the hardware, this specimen features a large single hook rather than a treble, which is a common configuration for reducing snags when fishing the bottom of swift-moving water. The two-part body is built around a heavy wire frame, designed to hold up when casting into heavy current. You can see light surface marks on the silver-plated blade and some minor paint loss on the fluorescent bell, giving this piece a soft 4/5 rating. Its design is intended for the "swing" technique, where the current carries the lure in a downstream arc to cover maximum water.
