Museum Archive: Panther Martin 4, 1/8oz Blue Trout spinning lure #5884

Weighing exactly 1/8oz (4g), this spinner showcases a vibrant Blue Trout color palette with a shimmering holographic finish on both the blade and the weighted body. This specific Panther Martin 4, identified by product code 5884, measures 1 1/2" (4cm) and utilizes the brand's distinctive post-mounted blade design. Instead of a traditional clevis, the blade spins directly on the shaft, a technical hallmark established by the company since its 1950s American debut to facilitate immediate rotation. The specimen is presented in its original yellow carded blister pack from Harrison Hoge Industries, featuring the distinctive blue "HOLOGRAPHIC" banner and social media icons on the reverse. This lure is unused and remains perfectly preserved within its factory seal. The weighted teardrop body is balanced for casting in streams or rivers, where its blue-to-silver gradient mimics natural forage.
