Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Vibrax Shallow Foxtail, 3/16oz Rainbow Trout spinning lure #7981

Rainbow Trout patterns adorn the teardrop blade and molded head of this 3/16oz (6g) spinner. Designated with product code 7981, the Blue Fox Vibrax Shallow Foxtail measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and features a size 2 silver blade. The blade's face displays a vibrant teal and pink gradient, highlighted by black triangular marks and blue spots to simulate a trout's flanks. A weighted bell body, shaped like a fish head with a clear eye, works in tandem with a brass-colored spacer bead to maintain stability. The back of the blade is stamped with the manufacturer's name and size, confirming its USA origin. For a natural profile, the treble hook is dressed with a thick tuft of greyish-white hair, creating the signature foxtail appearance. This specimen remains in excellent 5/5 condition, showing original finishes and clean hardware throughout.
