Museum Archive: Panther Martin Zavorra con Mosca 6, 3/16oz Nickel spinning lure #16328

Nickel-finished components highlight the vintage Italian craftsmanship found on this specific specimen. Weighing 3/16 oz (6 g) with a total length of 2 1/4 in (6 cm), the Panther Martin Zavorra con Mosca 6 carries the distinct identity of the brand’s early European production. The blade is stamped with the 'MARTIN' name and the jumping panther logo, clearly indicating its Italy origin. Assigned product code 16328, this lure features a segmented silver teardrop body and a single hook dressed with a striking orange and black fly. The post-mounted blade design is a hallmark of this series, allowing the nickel surface to catch light from various angles without a clevis. This particular piece is in unused condition, maintaining the crisp lines and bright finish expected of a well-preserved tackle box find. The vibrant hackle on the fly remains full, contrasting sharply against the metallic body.
