Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Super Vibrax 3 Foxtail, 1/4oz Silver spinning lure #10003

Yellow foxtail fibers dressed onto the treble hook provide a distinct visual trigger on this 1/4 oz (8 g) spinner. Stamped with the 'Made in France' origin on the silver blade, this lure represents a classic era of European production known for high-quality hardware. The core design features a two-part body consisting of a silver bell and an internal gear, specifically engineered to emit low-frequency vibrations when retrieved. At a total length of 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the size 3 blade provides high flash and a significant profile suitable for targeting salmon, steelhead, and bass. This specimen, identified by product code 10003, is in 5/5 condition, showing a bright and clean finish across all metal surfaces. Anglers value this configuration for its ability to sink quickly and its blade angle, which is designed to reduce line twist during long periods of casting. In moving water, the feathered tail adds subtle pulsing movement when the current sweeps the lure in a downstream arc.
