Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 4 Con Punti, 1/8oz Black / Yellow spinning lure #11834

The black finish on both the teardrop body and the blade is adorned with iconic yellow polka dots, a classic pattern for any collector of vintage Italian-made spinners. Rated at 4/5, this specimen shows some honest paint wear along the edges, though it remains a solid example of the Panther Martin 4 Con Punti (Product Code 11834). Weighing 1/8 oz (4 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), its compact design is a staple for those fishing small mountain streams. The blade is uniquely mounted directly to the central wire shaft rather than using a clevis, a signature feature that defines this brand’s construction. Flipping the spinner over reveals the brass-colored backside of the blade, contrasting with the dark exterior. It is equipped with a standard treble hook, which shows a light tint of age on the metal surface.
