Museum Archive: ​Panther Martin Zig Zag con Penna UV, 3/5oz Chartreuse fishing spoon #13407

Chartreuse paint covers the entire metal body of this Italian-made lure, providing a high-visibility profile even before considering its specialized UV properties. Weighing in at 3/5oz (17g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the Panther Martin Zig Zag con Penna UV, listed under product code 13407, is constructed from a stamped metal plate with a characteristic curved silhouette. The "Penna" designation highlights the white feather trailer tied to the single rear hook, adding a natural contrast to the bright finish. As seen in the dark-field photography, the UV-reactive coating glows a brilliant neon green, making it easy to track in deep or murky conditions. This specimen is unused and in pristine condition, showcasing the clean lines and solid hardware typical of Italian tackle. A simple circular stamp on the side serves as a focal point, while the heavy-gauge metal body is designed for long-distance casting.
