Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Vibrax Minnow Spin 1, 1/8oz Gold spinning lure #6446

Gold coloring blends into a dark black back on this vintage balsa-shaped body, which shows an orange splash near the throat. Weighing in at 1/8 oz (4 g), this 2" (5 cm) Blue Fox Vibrax Minnow Spin 1 is a well-preserved piece of angling history from Finland. The inline gold-plated blade is stamped with the manufacturer's mark and is engineered to produce low-frequency vibrations when retrieved. Carrying product code 6446, the lure maintains a 4/5 condition rating, with some light, honest wear visible on the metallic surfaces. Its hardware consists of a single treble hook, and the yellow-and-black eye gives the minnow body a lifelike profile. Collectors often look for these specific color combinations that were designed to stand out in both clear and slightly stained waters. The weighted body helps with casting distance, ensuring the spinning blade starts its work as soon as the line tightens.
