Stamped clearly on the matte brass blade is the iconic lion logo alongside the 1009460 patent number, signifying its authentic Italian heritage. Weighing in at 1/8 oz (4 g), this spinner is a precision tool for small-water trout hunting. The teardrop-shaped body carries a vibrant yellow finish with distinct red dots, a color combination proven across countless river systems for decades. Because the blade is mounted directly on the wire shaft without a clevis, it begins spinning immediately upon retrieval. This Panther Martin 4, listed under product code 7512, measures a compact 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length and represents the era of production that collectors prize for craftsmanship. It features a single barbed hook, providing a more traditional, snag-resistant profile for rocky streambeds. Maintaining its original charm despite minor surface wear from past use, the lure’s condition is a respectable 4/5.
