Museum Archive: Vintage Blue Fox Whip Tail, 1/3oz nickel/red spinning lure #22276

Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this classic spinner features a textured red cylindrical body that provides a bold visual contrast against its silver hardware. The willow-shaped nickel blade is stamped with a distinct scale pattern, designed to reflect light throughout the water column during a steady retrieve. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the lure is built on a sturdy wire frame that terminates in a large, vibrant red hackle-dressed treble hook. This specific specimen, bearing product code 22276, represents the reliable craftsmanship typical of Blue Fox's USA production history. The finish on the blade and the textured paint on the body are well-maintained, showing very light evidence of previous fishing trips, resulting in a 4/5 condition rating. A metal swivel is already attached to the lead eyelet to assist with rigging and minimize line twist.
