Museum Archive: Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Gold spinning lure #16327

A polished gold finish catches the light on the teardrop body of this Panther Martin 4, a classic spinner built for reaching those deeper pockets where trout hide. Weighing 1/8 oz (4 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), this Italian-made lure carries the product code 16327. The blade is stamped with the "Panther Martin" logo and "Italy," highlighting its historical manufacturing origins. Unlike traditional in-line spinners, this model uses a post-mounted blade design where the blade rotates directly on the shaft, allowing for high sensitivity at low speeds. This specific specimen is unused, retaining its brilliant luster and sharp hardware. The weighted brass body is engineered for accurate casting and staying down in the strike zone during a retrieve. The gold-on-gold color scheme is a time-tested choice for various water conditions, and the treble hook remains factory-sharp.
