Museum Archive: Panther Martin 9, 2/5oz Gold spinning lure #6576

A gleaming gold-plated blade sits at the heart of this vintage spinner, designed to reflect light with every rotation. Tipping the scales at 3/8 oz (10.6 g), this specific specimen is a heavier variant within the lineup, providing extra depth and casting distance. Labeled with the product code 9 PMGF-G, the lure features the signature shaft-through-blade construction that is a hallmark of the brand's early designs. This particular piece was produced in Italy for Harrison-Hoge Industries of Smithtown, N.Y., marking a specific era of European manufacturing and American distribution. The item remains unused in its original yellow and blue blister pack, which has kept the gold finish and the sharp treble hook in their original state. The compact teardrop body is balanced for stable tracking when being retrieved through various currents.
