Weighed at 1/8 oz (4 g), this inline spinner showcases the distinct 'Trout' color pattern through a white blade decorated with a pink longitudinal stripe and black polka dots. The 2" (5 cm) lure features the classic Panther Martin design where the blade is mounted directly onto the shaft, a configuration intended to facilitate immediate rotation. This specimen, carrying product code 4601, is housed on its original bright yellow card, indicating its distribution by Harrison Hoge Industries. The teardrop body is finished in a solid pink hue, coordinating with the blade's accents, and terminates in a dressed treble hook wrapped with soft brown feathers. Preserved in unused condition, the hardware remains bright and the packaging is well-intact. Originally designed in Italy, these spinners are prized for their weighted bodies that aid in distance casting. The back of the card provides historical context of the brand’s distribution from Port Jefferson, NY, highlighting the genuine plated or holographic blades designed to reflect light in various water conditions.
