Museum Archive: Panther Martin 1, 1/16oz Nickel / Yellow / Red spinning lure #6333

Bright yellow with bold red dots, the weighted teardrop body of this specimen provides the necessary ballast for precision casting in small streams. This Panther Martin 1, listed under product code 6333, features the iconic concave-convex blade mounted directly through the wire shaft, a design intended to allow for immediate rotation upon hitting the water. The blade itself is stamped with the brand name and "Italy," displaying a clean nickel finish that reflects light effectively. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in total length and weighing a nimble 1/16 oz (2 g), it is built for ultra-light tackle and delicate presentations. The hardware includes a sharp, bronze-finished treble hook and a secure wire-wrapped eyelet for line attachment. This specific lure is unused, having been preserved as part of a vintage Bass Kit, and maintains its original factory luster across the painted surfaces and metallic components.
