Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Vibrax Minnow Spin 2, 1/4oz Orange / Gold spinning lure #6517

Crafted with a 1/4 oz (7 g) weight, this Blue Fox Vibrax Minnow Spin 2 is a quintessential piece of Finnish tackle history. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the lure utilizes an inline blade and a minnow-shaped body to provide a distinct profile during casting and retrieval. The "Orange / Gold" color scheme features a high-visibility orange back on the minnow body that transitions into a reflective gold belly. On the size 2 blade, a striking black rib pattern is printed over an orange base, while the reverse side reveals a polished gold finish stamped with "Made in Finland" and "Super 2 Vibrax." Cataloged as product code 6517, the hardware remains in top-tier shape, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. The assembly includes a straight wire shaft and a sharp treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail. This specific model showcases the simple painted eye detail and the robust construction typical of Blue Fox’s European production era. The contrast between the matte-painted blade pattern and the bright gold components offers a classic visual appeal for collectors.
