Museum Archive: Panther Martin Francese Tirlindada con Lana, 3/16oz Gold / Red spinning lure #10549

A textured scale pattern adorns the gold-plated blade of this Italian-made spinner, accented by a solid red tip and two distinct red dots. The Panther Martin Francese Tirlindada con Lana, carrying Product Code 10549, features a specialized body construction where a wire core is encased in a tightly wound metal spring. Weighing 3/16oz (5g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the lure is equipped with a treble hook dressed in thick red yarn. This yarn dressing is a classic design choice for the Tirlindada series, meant to provide a soft-textured profile. The willow-shaped blade is mounted directly to the shaft, a hallmark of the manufacturer's design to facilitate spinning even at low retrieval speeds. This specific specimen is unused, showing the bright, clean finish of its original factory state.
