Tipping the scales at 1/8 oz (4 g), this vintage spinner remains preserved in its original Harrison-Hoge Industries bubble pack. The iconic convex gold-toned blade is designed to mount directly onto the wire shaft, a hallmark of the Panther Martin design that avoids the need for a clevis. This specific specimen, identified by product code 12849, features a bright yellow body adorned with distinct red dots. It measures 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length and comes equipped with a sharp treble hook, which remains in unused condition as indicated by its original factory sealing. The carding identifies it as a PMR-S series, manufactured in Italy, reflecting the mid-20th-century era when these lures gained a reputation for their unique construction and heavy weighted bodies. Rated as condition 6, the item is unused, with the yellow cardstock and plastic blister showing only minor shelf wear from its time in Port Jefferson Station, NY.
