Stamped with the "ITALY" origin and patent numbers on its convex surface, the gold blade of this spinner identifies it as a true classic. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 12603, features the signature teardrop-shaped weight in a deep black finish. At a length of 1 1/2" (4 cm) and a weight of 1/8 oz (4 g), it serves as a quintessential choice for stream-dwelling trout. The shaft-through-blade construction is a hallmark of the Panther Martin design, ensuring the gold blade starts rotating the moment it hit the water. Rated at 5/5, the condition of this lure is excellent, with the treble hook and wire eyelet showing no signs of wear or age. The polished gold plating offers a sharp contrast against the dark body, specifically designed for visibility in various water clarities.
