Museum Archive: Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz Gold spinning lure #7289

Stamped clearly into the convex surface of the gold-tone blade is the iconic Panther Martin name alongside an Italy origin mark. This specific spinner, identified by product code 7289, features the classic teardrop-shaped body painted in a deep black with distinctive yellow spots. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (6 g), the lure spans a total length of 2" (5 cm) including the treble hook. Its unique construction allows the blade to rotate directly on the shaft rather than on a clevis, a design choice that sets the brand apart in the world of inline spinners. This specimen is unused, retaining its bright factory colors and smooth metal surfaces. The brass-toned hardware and the sharp bend of the hooks indicate a well-preserved piece of Italian manufacturing heritage.
