Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz nickel/blue spinning lure #23403

Nickel plating on the classic teardrop blade provides a bright flash, featuring the iconic Panther Martin lion logo and the "ITALY" stamp clearly visible on the surface. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (6 g) with a total length of 2" (5 cm), this specific Panther Martin 6 model (Product Code: 23403) is a staple for stream trout anglers who appreciate original Italian-made craftsmanship. The vibrant blue finish on the bullet-shaped body shows light surface character and signs of use, earning a condition rating of 4/5. Its signature shaft-through-blade design is engineered for immediate rotation upon contact with the water, a technical hallmark of the brand's classic construction. The heavy weighted body is designed for distance casting into deeper pools where trout often hold. A darkened treble hook remains sturdy, trailing behind the blue body which is accented by scattered black flecks. This specimen carries the 1009560 registration number on the blade face, marking its place in the lineage of these effective inline spinners.
