Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin Weed Wing, 1/2oz fishing spoon #18320

Polished silver plating defines the surface of this vintage Panther Martin classic, catching the light across its teardrop-shaped blade. Weighing 1/2oz (14g), the Weed Wing utilizes a specialized frontal propeller positioned ahead of the main spoon-like body to generate surface noise without tangling in vegetation. This specimen showcases a clean finish, with its single hook shielded by a wire guard to allow for retrieval through thick lily pads and weed beds. Anglers often sought these for targeting large bass or pike in cover where traditional spinners would snag. The hardware, including the attachment loops and the propeller assembly, appears well-preserved and maintains its original metallic luster. This lure is unused and presents in exceptional state. Identification for database records is noted under product code 18320.
