Museum Archive: Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz spinning lure #15723

Tipping the scales at a precise 1/8 oz (4 g), this Panther Martin 4 spinner showcases a genuine gold-plated blade paired with a classic black body featuring yellow polka dots. The construction highlights a unique post-mounted blade design that eliminates the need for a separate clevis, allowing the gold plating to catch light effectively. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in total length, the teardrop body is weighted for balance during long-distance casting into moving water. This specific specimen, identified by product code 15723, was assembled in the Dominican Republic using parts sourced from the U.S. and other international regions. The packaging remains intact, and the lure is in unused condition, preserving the factory finish on the razor-sharp treble hook. On the reverse of the yellow card, technical notes detail the convex/concave blade shape intended to create distinct sonic qualities while moving through the water column.
