Museum Archive: Panther Martin Simplex Tandem Con Mosca , 3/16oz spinning lure #10260

Two silver-finished blades are mounted in a tandem configuration along a 3 1/2" (9 cm) wire frame, creating the distinctive profile of this Italian-crafted spinner. Weighing 3/16 oz (6 g), the lure incorporates the signature Panther Martin blade-on-shaft design, where the metal rotates directly around the wire rather than using a traditional clevis. The 10260 product code designates the Con Mosca variant, featuring a prominent red feather dressing over the treble hook that provides a soft visual contrast to the metallic body. Small brass beads serve as spacers between the coiled spring sections, ensuring the two blades remain properly separated. This specific Simplex Tandem specimen is unused and remains in excellent shape. The blades carry the iconic Panther Martin stamp, a hallmark of the quality found in these vintage lures produced in Italy.
