Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin Lampo Pesante da Lancio, 2/5oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #10258

Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, this Italian-made casting spoon is a classic example of the Lampo Pesante da Lancio series from Panther Martin. The nickel-finished body is accented by a vibrant red stripe along one edge, providing a sharp color contrast against the polished metal. At a weight of 2/5oz (11g), the lure's thickness is intended for distance casting and reaching deeper water columns where lighter spoons might flutter too high. A small, clear manufacturer stamp is visible on the face, confirming its origin and brand heritage. The hardware configuration includes a top-mounted barrel swivel to manage line twist and a sturdy treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail. This specimen remains in excellent 5/5 condition, with the reflective nickel surface and painted accents showing very well alongside the original bronze-finished hook.
