Housed in its original vintage yellow blister pack, this Eastern Bass Kit by Panther Martin is a preserved piece of fishing history from Harrison-Hoge Industries. This specific set, identified by product code 2365, features three distinct 1/8 oz (4 g) spinners designed to target bass in varied water conditions. Looking at the selection, we have a solid black teardrop body for dark silhouettes, a vibrant lime green variant for high visibility, and a classic silver blade paired with a bright orange dressed tail. The unique design of these lures utilizes a shaft-mounted blade that sits directly on the wire, which facilitates rotation even during a slow-speed retrieve. Being condition 6, the set is unused, with the original price sticker still adhered to the vibrant yellow cardstock. The hardware remains bright and the paint on the weighted bodies is crisp, showcasing the manufacturing standards of the era. On the reverse, the packaging provides historical fishing hints, mentioning their effectiveness in shallow water. These 1/8 oz (4 g) lures are weighted for casting accuracy, making them a functional addition to a tackle collection or a nostalgic display piece.
