Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz Gold spinning lure #4026

Stamped clearly into the convex side of the gold-finished blade are the words 'MARTIN' and 'ITALY,' marking this as a piece from the brand’s historic European production line. A matte black teardrop body with three vibrant yellow dots defines the aesthetic of this 2" (5 cm) specimen, offering high contrast for various light conditions. At a weight of 3/16 oz (6 g), it features the signature thru-the-blade construction where the wire shaft is threaded directly through the metal, ensuring the blade sits close to the body. The specimen is in excellent form with a 5/5 condition rating, retaining its original bronze treble hook and a single brass bead spacer. Listed under product code 4026, this lure is a prime example of the 'Original' series often found in the vests of serious stream anglers. The gold plating on the blade has a warm, clean glow that highlights the traditional Italian manufacture.
