Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Super Vibrax 5, 1/2oz Brass spinning lure #13968

The deep brass tone across the blade and bell-shaped body identifies this size 5 spinner as a heavyweight for tackling large rivers and deep-dwelling species. Weighing 1/2 oz (13 g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm), it features the iconic 'Blue Fox Super Vibrax' stamp on the front of the blade. Flip the blade over and you will find the 'Made in France' hallmark, a detail found on older production runs from when manufacturing was rooted in European craftsmanship. The components, including the brass bullet body and sharp treble hook, show a well-maintained 4/5 condition with only minimal signs of field use. This specific model, product code 13968, utilizes a two-part bell design where an inner gear strikes against the outer shell to produce a low-frequency sonic signature. It is a solid choice for anglers employing a swing technique in current, where the 1/2 oz (13 g) weight helps the lure reach the strike zone quickly and maintain depth throughout the retrieve.
