Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Vibrax Shallow, 3/16oz Rainbow Trout spinning lure #8541

Adorned with a vibrant Rainbow Trout pattern, the body of this spinner shows off the classic blue, pink, and green hues characteristic of the species. Originating from Finland, this Blue Fox Vibrax Shallow, product code 8541, utilizes the iconic two-part body assembly that minimizes line twist during heavy use. The specimen scales in at 3/16 oz (5 g) and spans 2" (5 cm), featuring a teardrop-shaped blade painted with the same trout motif on the face and a polished silver back stamped with the brand's heritage. A brass bell weight is visible at the base of the painted head, connecting to a wire shaft that terminates in a feathered treble hook. These grey fibers provide a soft silhouette in the water, complementing the metallic hardware. In its 5/5 condition, the paint and components remain exceptionally clean and well-maintained. This particular model is crafted for shallow presentations, allowing anglers to cast into thin water and begin their retrieve immediately to keep the lure above snags.
