Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Super Vibrax 3, 1/4oz Brass spinning lure #10514

Stamped clearly into the underside of the brass blade is the "MADE IN FRANCE" origin mark, a hallmark of earlier production runs for this 2 1/4" (6 cm) spinner. The 1/4 oz (8 g) weight is centered in the distinctive two-part brass body, which features the signature gear-like toothed inner bell designed to interact with the outer shell. This particular specimen, identified by product code 10514, showcases a consistent brass finish across both the teardrop-shaped blade and the weighted bell. The blade face is decorated with an embossed fox head emblem and the Super Vibrax branding, while the reverse side includes the US PAT. 4163336 stamp. Holding a 4/5 condition rating, the metal components exhibit a clean, soft glow from age, with the hardware and wire shaft remaining straight and functional. A sturdy treble hook is attached to the rear, ready for the water. The internal design of the bell is a technical feature specifically engineered to minimize line twist during use, reflecting the precision of French manufacturing from this era.
