Museum Archive: Panther Martin 1, 1/16oz spinning lure #15068

A bright yellow teardrop body decorated with distinct pinkish-red polka dots defines this vintage Panther Martin spinner. Mounted directly on the central shaft is a genuine silver-plated convex blade, a design choice that eliminates the need for a separate clevis. This specific model, identified by product code 1-PMR-S-1/32oz (database ref: 15068), is a lightweight finesse lure at 1/32 oz (0.9 g) and measures 1 1/2" (3.8 cm). Staying true to its original presentation, the lure is unused and remains sealed in its vintage carded packaging. The weighted body is balanced for casting into tight pockets of water, while the hardware features a sharp treble hook and a small yellow spacer bead. Detailed information on the reverse of the Harrison-Hoge Industries card highlights the sonic properties created by the unique convex/concave blade shape. The use of genuine silver plating on the blade provides high-reflectivity flash for visibility in varying water conditions.
