Museum Archive: Panther Martin 9, 2/5oz Silver spinning lure #7356

Italian craftsmanship is evident in the assembly of this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) spinner, which utilizes the classic shaft-through-blade design synonymous with the brand. This specific specimen, cataloged as product code 7356, is presented in a monochromatic silver colorway across both the blade and the teardrop body. Weighing 2/5oz (11g), the lure is rigged with a sharp treble hook featuring a distinctive chartreuse attractor sleeve on the shank. The packaging identifies it as part of the Harrison Hoge Industries era, based in Port Jefferson Station, NY, and confirms its origin as a "Made in Italy" product. This item is unused, preserved in its original vibrant yellow and blue carded blister pack which includes a vintage sizing reference chart on the reverse. The blade's concave-convex profile is designed to create a heavy thump and distinct vibration when retrieved through the water column, making it a staple for casting in various freshwater environments.
