Museum Archive: Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Gold / Red spinning lure #5170

Vivid red stripes set against a genuine gold-plated blade define the striking aesthetic of this classic spinner. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) and weighing in at 1/8 oz (4 g), the Panther Martin 4 remains in its original blister pack and is unused. The unique post-mounted blade design, a staple of Harrison Hoge Industries’ craftsmanship, allows the blade to spin freely on the shaft. The weighted teardrop body is finished in black with sharp red spots, a color pattern designed to stand out in various water conditions. This particular specimen, identified by product code 5170, was produced in the Dominican Republic and showcases the quality construction anglers have relied on for trout and panfish for decades. Looking through the clear packaging, the treble hook is sharp and clean, protected from the elements.
