Museum Archive: Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Silver / Blue spinning lure #5171

Sized at 1 1/2" (4 cm), the compact profile of this Panther Martin 4 is built around the brand's signature teardrop body. This 1/8 oz (4 g) spinner, identified by product code 5171, showcases a Silver/Blue blade finish accented by four crisp black dots. A hallmark of the Panther Martin design is the blade mounted directly on the shaft, allowing for immediate rotation upon contact with the water. The weighted body provides the density needed for accurate casting into tight cover or across current seams. This specimen is unused and remains in its original yellow blister pack, originating from Harrison Hoge Industries in Port Jefferson, NY. This Dominican Republic production features a sharp treble hook secured to the weighted core, making it a reliable tool for targeting trout in moving water.
