Stamped clearly into the nickel-finished blade, the "Italy" mark signifies the Mediterranean origins of this vintage Panther Martin 9 inline spinner. Weighing 11g (2/5oz) and measuring 5.5cm (2 1/4") in length, it is weighted effectively for casting into deeper stream pockets. The segmented teardrop body is finished in a vibrant metallic green, contrasting sharply with the polished silver-tone of the blade. Cataloged under product code 8988, the lure features the classic through-shaft design where the blade rotates directly on the wire rather than a clevis. On the blade face, the "MARTIN" name and cat logo are deeply embossed alongside the 1009560 registration number. A small brass bead provides a smooth surface for the blade's rotation during a retrieve. Maintaining a 5/5 condition rating, the hardware remains bright and functional for active use.
