Museum Archive: Panther Martin 2, 3/32oz Fire Tiger spinning lure #4993

Vibrant pink, yellow, and green hues define the Fire Tiger pattern on this classic spinner's blade, accented by dark vertical bars and a reflective finish. Weighing in at 3/32 oz (2.5 g) with a total length of 2" (5 cm), this Panther Martin 2 features the brand's signature teardrop weighted body and a unique post-mounted blade. Unlike many in-line spinners, the blade is mounted directly through the shaft, a design characteristic that allows it to spin freely and sit closer to the body during retrieval. This specific model, bearing product code 4993, comes from Harrison-Hoge Industries and is still housed in its original yellow card packaging. The body is finished in a smooth metallic blue-silver tone, leading down to a sharp treble hook. It remains unused and is preserved in its original blister pack, where the yellow backing card displays contact information for the Port Jefferson, New York headquarters.
