Museum Archive: Panther Martin 6 Double Trouble with soft bait, 1/2oz Gold spinning lure #11826

Glistening with a polished gold finish, the blade on this 1/2 oz (14 g) lure is mounted directly through the shaft in the classic Italian tradition. This Panther Martin 6 Double Trouble, identified by product code 11826, measures 4 1/4" (11 cm) and represents a hybrid design that pairs a heavy-duty spinner with a soft plastic baitfish body. The dark, shad-style soft bait features a detailed eye and a sleek profile, making it a substantial offering for anglers targeting larger predators in various water columns. Because the blade is convex/concave, it is engineered to rotate around the wire without the need for a clevis, a specific technical detail that defines the brand's legacy. This particular specimen is unused, retaining its clean lines and hardware integrity, earning it a condition rating of 5/5. The original packaging has kept the gold plating and the soft body material well-preserved despite some age-related wear to the backing card.
