Museum Archive: Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Blue Trout spinning lure #5007

Weighing in at 1/8 oz (4 g), this Panther Martin 4 spinner is a prime example of the brand's Holographic series in the Blue Trout pattern. The holographic blade features four distinct dark spots over a gradient blue finish, designed to catch light from any angle. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, the lure utilizes the signature post-mounted blade design where the blade spins directly on the shaft rather than a clevis. This specimen, identified by product code 5007, is preserved in unused condition, remaining in its original yellow carded packaging. The silver teardrop-shaped body is weighted to assist with casting distance in smaller streams. On the reverse of the packaging, manufacturing information points to Harrison Hoge Industries out of Port Jefferson, NY, with the item produced in the Dominican Republic. The sharp treble hook is secured behind the weighted body.
