Museum Archive: ​Panther Martin Svizzero Martellato, 1/4oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #13403

Glistening under the light, the hammered nickel finish on this 1/4 oz (8 g) spoon is designed to maximize flash across the water. This specimen, measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, represents the classic Italian craftsmanship of the Panther Martin Svizzero Martellato series. The "Martellato" designation refers to the dimpled, hammered surface of the metal, which creates a multifaceted reflection. It features a robust treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail and a simple wire loop at the nose for line attachment. Bearing the product code 13403, the lure is in unused condition, rated 6, and retains its original factory luster. The slim, elongated profile of the body is characteristic of lures designed for casting or trolling when targeting species keyed into slender baitfish.
