BLUE FOX SUPER VIBRAX
A lure that has been rapidly gaining in popularity over the past 10 or so years is the Blue Fox Super Vibrax. This spinner has a two-part body that emits very low-frequency sound vibrations, which draws the interest of most game fish species. The Blue Fox Super Vibrax comes in four different lure types: plated, wild-eye, painted and fox tail. It is available in seven different weights. This spinner is produced by the venerable Finnish lure, filet knife and hook manufacturer Rapala/VMC. It should be noted that Lauri Rapala’s lures hold more world records than any other lure ever manufactured.
TWO OTHER HONORABLE MENTIONS
Two other spinners that bear mention in the top five are Mack’s Lures Kokanee Killer, which comes in either a treble-hook or single-hook design. The lure’s body is made up of red beads and it is a proven trout/salmon catcher. The second is Luhr-Jensen’s Shyster. The Shyster is another in-line spinner that’s been a steady trout producer for years, and like the other “super stars” mentioned above, comes in a variety of color and weight combinations.
In-line spinners have a lot going for them. They are versatile, durable and come in a wide variety of body shapes, sizes, weights and colors. Spinners catch numerous species of fish, including trout. Spinners are easy to fish and are productive in just about any type of water, from the tiniest of mountain brook trout streams on up to the largest rivers and lakes. When put into the hands of someone proficient with an ultralight spinning rod, the end result is a bent rod and hard-fighting trout attached to the terminal end!
