Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz Yellow / Red spinning lure #3887

Bold red polka dots stand out against the yellow enamel of this classic spinner, a hallmark of vintage tackle box staples. Weighing 3/16oz (6g), this Panther Martin 6 utilizes the brand's unique design where the blade is mounted directly onto the wire shaft without a clevis. This specific construction allows the blade to engage with the wire throughout its rotation. The teardrop body, measuring 2" (5cm) in length, provides a front-weighted profile suitable for casting into light current. For collectors tracking product code 3887, the yellow and red finish covers both the teardrop weight and the convex side of the blade. The concave underside of the blade reveals a brass-toned metal finish. Rated 4/5, the lure shows gentle evidence of its age with small paint losses along the outer edges of the blade and body, while the treble hook retains its dark, original finish.
