Gold plating on the convex/concave blade provides a distinctive flash that has made this design a staple for trout anglers since the 1950s. This Panther Martin 4, identified by Product Code 5008, features a striking red-segmented pattern over the gold-plated metal, paired with a weighted black teardrop body. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and weighing 1/8 oz (4 g), the lure utilizes an in-line construction where the blade is mounted directly on the shaft to facilitate spinning at very low speeds. The hardware includes a sharp treble hook attached to the rear of the compact body. Distributed by Harrison-Hoge Industries and sourced from the Dominican Republic, the specimen remains in its original yellow card packaging. This lure is unused and remains in its factory-sealed state.
