Museum Archive: Panther Martin Cucchiaino Ondulante Lugano, 1/4oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #12236

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this spoon-style lure features a classic Italian design. The finish is a clean Nickel/Blue combination, where a vibrant blue spine fades into a textured silver-nickel belly. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the Panther Martin Cucchiaino Ondulante Lugano (Product Code 12236) is equipped with a feathered treble hook. This white feather dressing is bound with a clear wrap to the shank of the hook, providing a visual focal point. A small, realistic yellow eye with a black pupil is positioned near the nose, adding a touch of lifelike detail to the profile. On the hardware side, it arrives with a pre-installed barrel swivel attached to the nose split ring, intended to reduce line twist during casting or trolling. The stamped metal body has a distinct curve seen clearly from the profile view, typical of traditional European spoons manufactured in Italy. This particular specimen is unused, though it shows some minor surface marks from being stored outside its original packaging.
