Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Super Vibrax Salmon UV, 1 1/4oz Nickel / Pink spinning lure #12161

Weighing in at a substantial 1 1/4 oz (33g), this spinner is engineered to reach deep into the heavy flows preferred by migrating salmon. The oversized Nickel-finished blade is clearly stamped with the classic Blue Fox logo and "SUPER VIBRAX" branding, indicating its status as a staple for Pacific Northwest and Alaskan river fishing. Measuring 4 1/4" (11cm), the lure features a distinctive hot pink bell-shaped body that reacts strongly to UV light—a critical advantage for visibility in stained or silty waters. This specific specimen, identified by product code 12161, sits at a 5/5 condition rating with pristine surfaces on both the polished metal and the vibrant orange sleeve over the treble hook. The heavy bell design is a signature Blue Fox feature, providing the necessary ballast for long casts while housing internal components that minimize line twist. This 4 1/4" (11cm) Nickel / Pink variant is particularly effective when fished through deep pools using a downstream swing. The orange hook sleeve serves as a precise focal point for following fish, standing out against the metallic flash of the rotating willow-style blade.
