Vibrant red and yellow polka dots define the visual identity of this 3/16 oz (6 g) spinner, an iconic design originating from Italy. Carrying Product Code 12599, the lure measures 2" (5 cm) and utilizes the classic Panther Martin post-mounted blade. Unlike traditional inline spinners that use a clevis, the shaft on this Panther Martin 6 passes directly through the red teardrop-shaped blade, allowing it to spin closely against the weighted yellow body. This specific specimen maintains its bright factory colors, earning a 5/5 condition rating, while the attached treble hook shows honest signs of its vintage. The teardrop shape of the body is meticulously weighted to aid in casting distance and accuracy on light tackle. Every component, from the twisted wire eye to the painted dots, reflects the quality of mid-century Italian craftsmanship.
