Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin 6, 3/16oz Silver / Blue spinning lure #7708

A classic teardrop-shaped lead body helps this vintage spinner cast efficiently while maintaining balance. Weighing 3/16 oz (6 g) with a total length of 2" (5 cm), this specimen belongs to the iconic lineup known for its unique blade-on-shaft design where the wire passes directly through the metal. The convex blade is finished in a silver and blue gradient with bold black spots, a color scheme that stands out from more common gold or yellow patterns. Stamped clearly with the maker’s mark, the blade rotates around a gold-tone bead spacer that prevents binding against the weighted body. This specific Panther Martin 6, identified by Product Code 7708, features a bronze-finished treble hook that remains securely attached. The condition is rated 4/5, displaying light wear from past fishing trips but retaining all its original structural character.
