Blue Fox Vibrax Original Size 6 18g Spinner

The Vibrax Original is the spinner the rest of the Blue Fox range grew out of. Its two-part machined brass body turns independently of the blade, and that patented arrangement is what virtually eliminates the line twist most spinners hand you after an afternoon of casting.

Inside the body a free-turning brass gear rattles as the blade spins, putting out a low-frequency thump as well as flash. That is what pulls a fish in from a distance in coloured water or under a broken surface. The 45 degree blade runs it at 0.6 to 1.2 metres on a steady wind.

Size 6 is the big one. At 18g it is the size to reach for when you need casting distance on a big river or a reservoir, when the water is pushing hard enough to fold a smaller blade over, or when you are deliberately fishing for a better fish. It wants a proper spinning rod rather than an ultra light.

Which colour?

• Silver (S) – plain silver blade and body. Maximum flash, and the one to start with in clear water and bright light.
• Gold (G) – gold blade and body. A warmer, softer flash that works better in tea-coloured or peaty water.
