Museum Archive: Panther Martin 2, 3/32oz Gold spinning lure #15749

Gold plating catches the light across the genuine 3/32oz (2.5g) blade of this classic spinner, a hallmark of the Panther Martin 2 design. Carrying the product code 15749, this specific lure is unused, still sealed in its original yellow and blue carded packaging. The 1 3/4" (4.5cm) length is anchored by a weighted black teardrop body, which helps stabilize the lure during long-distance casts. Its defining feature is the clasp-free post-mounted blade, a technical choice that allows for a fast start-up speed and a wider blade rotation compared to traditional in-line spinners. Stamped clearly on the gold-plated surface is the brand's identity, a detail that many collectors look for when verifying Dominican Republic production runs made with U.S. components. The sharp treble hook remains tucked behind the clear plastic, ready for service in a trout stream or a display case.
