Museum Archive: Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Silver / Blue spinning lure #5168

Holographic finishes like the striking Silver / Blue transition on this blade are engineered to maximize flash across a spectrum of light levels. This Panther Martin 4, weighing 1/8 oz (4 g) with a total length of 1 1/2" (4 cm), utilizes the brand’s famous shaft-mounted blade configuration that lets the blade spin directly on the wire. Five black spots are precisely applied over the holographic foil to provide a distinct visual contrast that stream anglers rely on for trout. Identified by Product Code 5168, the lure is unused and presented in its original yellow retail packaging. The back of the card lists Harrison-Hoge Industries as the producer, highlighting the weighted body design intended for casting into tight pockets. A sharp treble hook is rigged at the rear, completing a classic setup that has remained largely unchanged for generations.
