Museum Archive: Panther Martin 6 Double Trouble with soft bait, 3/5oz Gold spinning lure #11293

Four inches (10 cm) in total length, the Double Trouble series integrates a realistic soft minnow with a gold-finished spinner blade. This 5/8 oz (17.7 g) model, listed under product code 11293, is unused and remains in its original vintage yellow and blue packaging. The gold blade is mounted directly on the wire shaft, a hallmark of the Panther Martin design that collectors recognize instantly for its specific construction. A 'Made in Italy' stamp is visible on the backing card, marking it as a piece of classic European manufacturing from the Italian factory. The soft bait body features a dark grey dorsal section and lighter belly, mimicking the natural shading of common forage fish. The gold blade is stamped with the manufacturer’s name, completing a design that utilizes the shaft-mounted blade for consistent rotation.
