Introduction:
Blue Fox is best known for
small lures that are highly effective for trout, but this season in addition to
new spinner patterns the company is targeting Musky and anglers that pursue
these freshwater sharks with a dedicated series of new buzzbaits.
Blue Fox is best known for their
Vibrax Spinners
About Blue Fox:
Blue Fox Tackle Co. is a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Rapala/VMC Group. Originally founded in 1932, and
renamed in 1978, Blue Fox is best known for such popular-selling lures as the
Vibrax® Spinner, the Pixee® Spoon, the Foxee®
Jig and Dr. Juice® fish scents.
The classic Vibrax now in bleeding
pattern
Classic Vibrax® Bleeding Pattern:
A true performer gets an upgrade. The Classic Vibrax we all know now comes
in a bleeding pattern with red hooks and spinners. Featuring a deep red spinner
and red treble hook, the new bleeding patterns are designed to trigger
aggressive strikes from fish. Available with five different body colors. The
suggested retail price for the new Bleeding patterns is $2.49 - $3.99 each.
The Blue Fox Musky Buzz feature's
the familiar Vibrax bell
Vibrax® Musky Buzz®:
Hunting for that trophy musky or northern pike requires a lure
that will deliver a solid performance every time. The new Vibrax Musky Buzz
features recognizable elements from Vibrax's smaller lures. The blade hitting
bell provides a specific pitch and vibration, while the main hook is dressed by
real bucktail and is positioned to avoid fouling weeds and cover. The lure is
specially balanced for easy casting and to drop into the water without a big
fish spooking splash.
Suggested retail price per copy is $9.99, and the Musky Buzz will
be available in four colors.
Want double the splash?
Vibrax® Double
Musky Buzz®: Want
even more commotion in the water? The Double Musky Buzz creates more bubbles and
splashes with a twin blade design. This topwater lure is designed to attract the
largest Muskies. With an extremely sharp hook for quick penetration this lure is
designed for serious hooksets. Whether you choose the single or double the price
is identical at $9.99.
Conclusion: If you are a Musky angler you
know there is no prettier sight than a gaping freshwater shark taking out your
topwater lure in brutal fashion. It only makes sense for Blue Fox, a company
known best for spinners, to release oversized buzzbaits to target monster Musky
or Northern Pike.
