Nickel plating on the large spinner blade catches the eye first on this vintage Italian-made specimen. Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g) and measuring a substantial 5 1/2" (14cm), the Panther Martin 9 Double Trouble, product code 17252, is a clever hybrid design that merges the flash of a traditional spinner with a detailed soft plastic minnow body. The blade is mounted directly on the shaft, a hallmark of the Italian manufacturer's engineering. This specific lure features a silvery-white soft body with a subtle blue-grey back and distinct dark spots along the side to mimic natural forage. It is rigged with a unique hook configuration, featuring two treble hooks—one exiting the belly and another further back toward the tail. The condition is rated 4/5, as the soft plastic remains remarkably clean and the hardware retains its original shine. Stamped 'Made in Italy' on the blade, this model was designed as a heavier option for anglers targeting larger predators in deeper water.
