Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Vibrax Minnow Spin 1 UV, 1/8oz Fire Tiger spinning lure #6601

Fluorescent Fire Tiger patterns distinguish this particular specimen, featuring a balsa-style minnow body paired with the classic spinning blade mechanism. Weighing in at 1/8 oz (4 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm), this size 1 Vibrax Minnow Spin, designated by product code 6601, is a well-preserved example of Finnish manufacturing by Blue Fox. The finish transitions from a dark green back with black vertical bars into a bright yellow midsection and an orange throat. Under UV light, the entire minnow body and the teardrop-shaped blade emit a strong glow, a feature specifically engineered to increase the lure's profile in stained water. The blade itself is stamped with the size "1" and displays a unique black-and-orange ribbed pattern. A bronze-finished treble hook is connected via a sturdy split ring at the tail, while the wire-through construction ensures the weighted body and spinning components remain secure during heavy retrieves. This specimen remains in 5/5 condition, exhibiting a vibrant, clear finish and sharp hardware. The internal bell component is designed to produce low-frequency vibrations when the blade rotates around the shaft during a steady retrieve.
