Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz spinning lure #14418

Metallic blue hues coat the weighted teardrop body of this Italian-made spinner, providing the necessary ballast for its 3/16 oz (6 g) weight. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in total length, this Panther Martin 6 features the manufacturer's signature post-mounted blade design, which threads the wire directly through the blade rather than using a clevis. This specific specimen, identified by product code 14418, showcases a vibrant rainbow-patterned blade transitioning from a deep red through sunny yellow and into a bright green, all decorated with distinct black vertical accents. A sharp, gold-finished treble hook is attached at the base of the body. Originating from Italy, the craftsmanship reflects the classic European production standards of the era. The condition is rated 5/5, with the paint on the blade and the blue body remaining bright and well-preserved.
