Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz Silver spinning lure #15789

The silver-plated blade on this 3/16 oz (6 g) spinner is uniquely designed to mount directly onto the wire shaft, a signature Panther Martin construction that bypasses the traditional clevis for a more compact profile. This specific Panther Martin 6, carrying product code 15789, showcases the classic yellow teardrop body accented by three bold red dots. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in total length, the lure’s blade is engineered to rotate close to the weighted body, allowing for efficient casting and retrieval in various flow conditions. As an unused specimen still housed in its original yellow and blue blister pack, the hardware remains factory-fresh, including the sharp black treble hook. This model was assembled in the Dominican Republic utilizing U.S. components, bridging the brand's international manufacturing history. The packaging itself is well-preserved, with the iconic bulldog logo and bold typography clearly visible against the yellow cardstock.
