Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz Pink Trout spinning lure #12601

Five bold black dots stand out against the white and pink gradient of the blade, a signature look for this Italian-made classic. Tipping the scales at 3/16 oz (6 g), this Panther Martin 6 measures 2 in (5 cm) and carries the specific product code 12601. The teardrop-shaped body is painted in a matching pink tone, leading down to a dressed treble hook tied with subtle brown and orange fibers. Because the blade is mounted directly onto the wire shaft, it maintains a very compact profile compared to traditional clevis-style spinners. This particular specimen is in 5/5 condition, with the 'ITALY' stamp on the reverse side of the blade remaining sharp and legible. You’ll notice the soft pink fade on the upper half of the blade, which provides a nice contrast against the white base. The wire forms are tight and the overall hardware shows no signs of significant age or wear, maintaining its original factory luster.
