Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Super Vibrax 5, 1/2oz Silver / Blue spinning lure #12887

A vibrant blue metallic finish adorns the bell-shaped body of this size 5 spinner, signaling its readiness for deep river runs. Weighed at 1/2oz (13g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in length, this specimen from Finland showcases the classic hallmarks of the Blue Fox craft. The large silver blade is stamped with the "Super Vibrax" branding and the iconic fox head logo, displaying some light wear from time. Rated at a solid 4/5, the lure retains its deep blue luster on the main body, though there is minor finish loss at the bottom edge near the internal gear mechanism. This specific construction includes a free-turning gear within the bell, designed to generate a thumping vibration when the blade spins. The treble hook exhibits some oxidation common in vintage tackle but maintains its original shape. Registered under product code 12887, this lure features a weighted body that helps it sink quickly to reach holding fish in heavy current.
