Museum Archive: Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Gold spinning lure #15720

Reflecting light from its genuine gold-plated blade, this 1/8 oz (4 g) Panther Martin 4 remains a cornerstone of the tackle box. This specific unit, assigned product code 15720, measures 1 1/2" (4 cm) and showcases the traditional black body finish with bright yellow polka dots. The blade is mounted directly through the shaft, a hallmark design of the brand that allows for immediate rotation without a separate clevis. Assembled in the Dominican Republic from U.S. and foreign parts, the lure is presented in its original retail blister pack from Harrison-Hoge Industries. It is unused and maintains the crisp detail of its weighted teardrop body and sharp treble hook. The yellow and blue packaging provides a nostalgic look at the distribution history out of Port Jefferson, NY, detailing the specific benefits of the convex/concave blade for sonic vibrations.
