Museum Archive: Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz Gold spinning lure #4410

Black-and-yellow polka dots adorn the weighted teardrop body of this unused specimen, weighing in at 3/16 oz (6 g). Stamped clearly into the convex side of the gold blade is the Panther Martin name along with the size 6 designation, a hallmark of these Italian-designed classics. Identified by product code 4410, the lure measures 2" (5 cm) from the front eyelet to the bend of the sharp, bronzed treble hook. The unique inline blade mounting—passing the wire directly through the blade—is a technical signature that eliminates the need for a separate clevis, allowing the gold plating to catch light effectively. Vivid yellow spots provide high contrast against the deep black finish of the body, which remains in clean, unused condition. While many modern versions have moved production, the legacy of these spinners traces back to Italian craftsmanship, evident in the precise wire wraps and the balanced distribution of weight. Every detail, from the rounded body to the distinctive blade shape, is built for stable casting into mountain streams or pond margins.
