Museum Archive: Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz Silver / Blue spinning lure #4998

Weighing in at 3/16oz (6g), this specific spinner features a vibrant metallic blue body paired with a genuine silver-plated blade. It is a size 6 model, measuring 2" (5cm) in length, and remains in its original yellow blister packaging. The blade is designed with a convex/concave profile to facilitate rotation directly on the shaft, a signature engineering detail that avoids the need for a separate clevis. Identified by product code 4998, this specimen is in unused condition, retaining its factory-fresh appearance. The razor-sharp treble hook remains tucked within the plastic, showing no signs of water use. On the blade surface, the branding is clearly stamped into the silver plating. Harrison Hoge Industries distributed these lures, and the reverse of the card includes the standard California Proposition 65 warnings and company contact details from Port Jefferson, NY. The contrast between the silver flash and the deep blue weighted body is specifically designed to attract attention in varying water clarities.
