Museum Archive: Panther Martin 9, 1/3oz Gold spinning lure #6405

Tipping the scales at a substantial 1/3oz (9g), this Italian-made spinner is a classic profile that collectors and anglers alike recognize for its specific weighted design. The gold-plated blade is deeply stamped with the iconic Panther Martin name, the number 9, and the leaping fish logo, confirming its heritage. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in total length, the lure features a teardrop-shaped body finished in black with three distinct yellow dots. This specimen, identified by product code 6405, is in unused condition, maintaining a bright and clean finish across all metal surfaces. The construction utilizes a shaft-through-blade design rather than a traditional clevis, which keeps the profile compact for casting. A bronze-finished treble hook is securely attached to the wire frame, which is finished with a precise, professional wrap at the line tie.
