Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Super Vibrax 5, 1/2oz Bronze (Brass) spinning lure #13836

Stamped with the iconic fox logo and a bold number 5, the brass blade on this spinner immediately marks its identity as a heavy-duty casting tool. This Blue Fox Super Vibrax 5, identified by product code 13836, hails from France and carries the weight of a legendary reputation among salmon and steelhead anglers. Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (13 g) and stretching 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, its Bronze (Brass) finish offers a subdued, realistic flash suited for clear or moderately stained water. The lure remains in 4/5 condition, showing light signs of handling that add character to its metallic surfaces. Central to its design is the signature two-part bell body, which houses an internal gear specifically engineered to create low-frequency sound during the retrieve. This mechanical feature is paired with a heavy-duty wire harness and a large treble hook, making it a rugged choice for heavy currents. The blade's wide profile is mounted via a sturdy clevis, ensuring it turns consistently. Its French origins are reflected in the clean stampings and the overall solid feel of the construction.
