Museum Archive: Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Gold spinning lure #15766

Weighing in at exactly 1/8 oz (4 g), this classic inline spinner utilizes a genuine gold-plated blade designed to reflect light across the water column. The blade is mounted directly through its center onto the wire shaft, a distinctive Panther Martin engineering choice that allows for consistent rotation. Its 1 1/2" (4 cm) profile features the iconic black body decorated with bright yellow dots, a high-contrast pattern that remains a staple for trout and panfish enthusiasts. This specimen, identified by product code 15766, is preserved in its original yellow carded packaging and remains unused. Assembled in the Dominican Republic by Harrison-Hoge Industries from US and foreign parts, the lure features a sharp treble hook and a weighted teardrop body for stability during a retrieve. The back of the card, labeled 2-PMR-G, highlights the sonic vibrations generated by the convex/concave blade shape during movement through the water.
