Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Super Vibrax Salmon , 1 1/4oz Nickel / Green spinning lure #13126

Weighing in at a substantial 1 1/4 oz (33g), this heavy-duty spinner is a dedicated tool for big water and the powerful fish that inhabit it. Measuring 4 1/4" (11cm) in length, the Nickel/Green color combination provides a high-contrast visual profile designed to remain visible in the turbulent or off-color rivers typical of salmon and steelhead runs. This particular specimen, identified by product code 13126, originates from Finland and reflects the robust construction standards of the Blue Fox brand. The extra-wide blade is engineered to emit low-frequency vibrations, a technical characteristic that enables fish to track the lure via their lateral line in fast-moving water. This design also serves to minimize line twist during extended casting sessions. In its 5/5 condition, the lure appears unused, with the nickel plating on the blade and the vibrant green paint on the bell body remaining remarkably crisp. For optimal results in moving water, anglers frequently employ 'the swing' technique, allowing the current to carry the lure in a downstream arc. The tail is equipped with a sharp treble hook featuring an orange sleeve, which acts as a concentrated strike point for following fish.
