Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Vibrax Minnow Spin 1 Chaser, 2/5oz Silver / Trout spinning lure #8398

The Silver/Trout pattern on this particular Blue Fox Vibrax Minnow Spin 1 Chaser (Product Code: 8398) features a realistic minnow body decorated with vibrant pink and blue trout-style speckling over a silver base. Weighing 2/5 oz (12 g) and stretching to a total length of 4 3/4" (12 cm), the lure utilizes a "chaser" configuration where a small gold-finished spoon sits at the head of the wire assembly. Below this, a larger silver spinner blade is mounted, followed by the main minnow body and a weighted treble hook. The lead-molded base of the treble hook is finished in a clean dark gray, providing the necessary ballast for casting. This Finnish-made lure remains in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with the blade stamping appearing sharp and the paint on the minnow body showing no signs of age. The contrast between the gold leading spoon and the larger silver blade creates a multi-tonal flash when retrieved through the water.
