Museum Archive: Vintage Panther Martin Zavorra con Mosca, 3/16oz gold spinning lure #21015

Gold plating on the blade immediately catches the eye, showcasing the classic Italian craftsmanship of this 3/16 oz (6 g) spinner. Stamped clearly on the polished surface is the cat logo and the 'Italy' origin, marking it as a genuine part of the 21015 series. Unlike many traditional spinners, the blade on the Zavorra con Mosca threads directly onto the wire shaft, a specific engineering choice that ensures the blade maintains a precise 40-degree rotation angle even at very slow retrieval speeds. This 2" (5 cm) specimen features a heavy, segmented brass body designed to get the lure down into deeper strike zones during casting or trolling. The 'Mosca' portion of the name refers to the hand-dressed treble, which here consists of a vibrant orange and black wrap finished with a red collar. In its 5/5 condition, the hardware remains bright and the feather dressing is fully intact, looking just as it did when it left the factory.
