Museum Archive: Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Gold spinning lure #15823

Genuine gold plating on the blade distinguishes this specific Panther Martin 4, a high-reflectivity choice for targeting trout and panfish. Featuring a 1/8oz (4g) weight and a total length of 1 1/2" (4cm), the lure is built around a heavy teardrop body finished in black with signature yellow dots. This post-mounted blade design is a staple of the brand, where the shaft passes directly through the metal to facilitate rotation immediately upon hitting the water. Found under Product Code 15823, the specimen is unused and remains in its original packaging, preserving the factory finish on both the blade and the bronzed treble hook. Assembled in the Dominican Republic using parts from the U.S., the construction remains true to the original specifications that made these spinners famous. The packaging clearly denotes the genuine gold plated status, highlighting its specific finish within the series.
