Gold plating covers the entire 1 1/2" (4 cm) frame of this classic Italian spinner, providing a high-visibility profile for anglers. The blade is clearly stamped with the number "4", the brand name "MARTIN", and the distinctive panther logo alongside the patent number 1009460. Weighing 1/8 oz (4 g), this product code 23012 model features the iconic design where the shaft passes directly through the convex-concave blade, a configuration known for producing fast rotation. The specimen remains in exceptional condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean, lustrous finish. Its weighted brass body leads down to a sturdy treble hook, while the top is secured by the traditional wire-wrapped line tie. This construction is designed for casting like a bullet and maintaining stability during deep-water retrieves.
