Museum Archive: Panther Martin 2, 3/32oz Gold spinning lure #4582

Genuine gold plating on the convex/concave blade distinguishes this size 2 inline spinner, a classic design engineered for high-frequency vibration. Weighing in at 3/32 oz (2.5 g), this Panther Martin specimen, cataloged under product code 4582, utilizes a teardrop-shaped body finished in black with vibrant yellow dots. The blade is mounted directly on the wire shaft, a signature mechanical feature intended to facilitate immediate rotation upon hitting the water. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in total length, the lure is presented in its original yellow retail packaging, which remains unused. On the front of the card, Harrison Hoge Industries is listed as the distributor, noting the components were made in the USA and assembled in the Dominican Republic. The reverse side details the specific sonic properties of the blade's convex/concave shape and lists the manufacturer's historical contact information in Port Jefferson, NY. A single treble hook is secured at the base of the weighted body.
