Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 4 Con Punti, 1/8oz Yellow spinning lure #11805

Italian craftsmanship is clearly visible on this specimen, specifically the "ITALY" stamping on the yellow-painted spinner blade. Weighing 1/8 oz (4 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), this Panther Martin 4 Con Punti features the iconic teardrop-shaped body that provides excellent casting balance for smaller streams. The vibrant yellow finish is accented by seven distinct red dots, a pattern that has helped define the brand's legacy in trout fishing for decades. On the reverse side, the blade reveals its warm brass metal, showing minor signs of use that reflect a well-preserved condition rating of 4/5. Identified by product code 11805, the lure utilizes the signature through-shaft design where the blade spins directly on the wire rather than a clevis. The hardware consists of a sturdy, dark treble hook attached via a standard loop.
