Museum Archive: Panther Martin 1, 1/16oz Silver spinning lure #4371

Spotted with vibrant red dots across a yellow teardrop body, this 1/16oz (2g) spinner represents the classic design popularized by Harrison Hoge Industries. The silver blade is uniquely post-mounted directly on the shaft, a signature Panther Martin feature that allows the blade to rotate freely without the need for a separate clevis. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5cm), the specimen is preserved in its original yellow blister packaging and is completely unused. This specific lure, designated as product code 4371, showcases the classic convex/concave blade geometry designed to maximize light reflection from various angles. The weighted body is paired with a dark-finished treble hook, ensuring the 1/16oz (2g) weight is concentrated for precise casting into specific pockets of water. The packaging displays the Port Jefferson, NY 11777 address, marking its place in American tackle manufacturing history.
