Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Super Vibrax 5, 1/2oz Nickel / Green spinning lure #1504

Stamped clearly into the nickel-plated blade is the prominent number 5, signifying the larger profile of this classic Blue Fox Super Vibrax. Weighing 1/2oz (13g), the lure features a vibrant green bell body that provides a sharp visual contrast to the reflective silver flash of the hardware. The 3 1/4" (8.2cm) overall length is a preferred size among anglers working big, moving rivers for salmon and steelhead. Identified by product code 1504, this specimen maintains a pristine finish across its components, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. The two-part body construction is a technical hallmark of the series, built to emit low-frequency vibrations that help minimize line twist during long casting sessions. Its sturdy wire frame leads to a sharp treble hook, well-suited for the high-tension strikes common when using the downstream swing technique. The nickel blade surface remains highly polished, intended to catch and throw light effectively even in stained or off-color water conditions.
