Museum Archive: Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz Red / Yellow spinning lure #10323

Weighing in at 3/16oz (6g), this Italian-made inline spinner showcases a high-contrast Red/Yellow (RY) color pattern, featuring a red blade with yellow polka dots paired with a yellow teardrop body with red accents. Measuring 2" (5cm) in length, this specimen carries product code 10323 and retains its original bronze-finished treble hook. The design utilizes Panther Martin's characteristic through-shaft blade mounting, which allows the blade to rotate directly on the wire rather than using a clevis. This particular lure is unused, preserved in its original blister pack which identifies its origin and weight as 6 grams. Historically, the compact teardrop body was engineered to provide balanced weight distribution for casting distance into wind or across fast-moving water. The back of the packaging confirms the color code and the iconic 'Best Spinner Ever' branding from the manufacturer's Italian production era.
