Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Vibrax Shallow, 1/3oz spinning lure #17478

Rainbow trout-inspired scales and vibrant green tones decorate the teardrop-shaped blade and fish-head bell of this inline spinner. Identified by product code 17478, this 1/3 oz (9.4 g) Blue Fox Vibrax Shallow is a specialized tool for working the upper layers of the water column. The classic bell design is engineered to create low-frequency vibrations, a technical hallmark of the Vibrax line intended to signal predators. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in total length, the specimen shows light surface wear on the holographic finish, though the treble hook and wire remain sturdy. This lure maintains a clean appearance and rates a 4/5 for condition, with the paint pattern still highly visible on the weighted body and blade. It is specifically designed for casting and retrieving, featuring a blade angle optimized for shallow water presentations.
