Museum Archive: Panther Martin Zig Zag con Penna UV, 3/5oz Chartreuse fishing spoon #11203

Weighing in at 3/5oz (17g), the textured chartreuse finish of this specimen is engineered for high visibility, especially when hit with UV light. This Italian-made Panther Martin measures 2 3/4" (7cm) and belongs to the Zig Zag con Penna series, where "penna" refers to the prominent white feather tail. The metal body features a unique porous texture that holds the paint securely, while the hardware consists of a black barrel swivel at the nose and a substantial hook at the tail. Identified by product code 11203, this particular lure remains unused. Under low-light conditions or deep-water applications, the chartreuse coating provides a powerful luminescent glow, as seen in UV testing. The design focuses on a heavy-gauge metal construction suitable for casting or trolling in both fresh and saltwater environments.
