Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Vibrax Minnow Spin 1, 1/8oz Brass spinning lure #8047

Stamped clearly on the brass blade is the 'Super Vibrax' mark alongside its Finnish origin, a hallmark of quality for collectors of early Blue Fox tackle. This specimen, identified by product code 8047, weighs 1/8 oz (4 g) and measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) in total length, making it a versatile option for light-spinning applications. The minnow-profile body sports a classic high-contrast finish, featuring a deep black back that fades into a cream-colored side with a vibrant orange throat. This specific color pattern, combined with the reflective brass blade, was designed for visibility in various water conditions. Rated at a 4/5, the lure is well-preserved, showing only minor signs of its age while the hardware remains robust. The construction includes a standard treble hook attached to a trailing split ring, typical of the Minnow Spin series' reliable build. A small, hand-painted yellow eye dot sits prominently on the front of the body, adding a final touch of detail to the finish.
