Museum Archive: Weedless Panther Martin Chinook Verde, 3/4oz Chartreuse / Nickel fishing spoon #10876

Tipping the scales at 3/4oz (21g), this Italian-made spoon features a distinctive hammered texture on its vibrant chartreuse face that reveals a strong green luminescence in low-light conditions. Collectors will notice the '5' stamped clearly on the surface of the Weedless Panther Martin Chinook Verde, indicating its specific sizing within this classic series. Designed as a versatile hybrid, the lure incorporates a dual-wire weed guard that allows it to be worked through heavy vegetation where standard spoons might snag. The reverse side showcases a clean nickel finish, providing a high-contrast flash against the bright green paint. A small red plastic flipper is attached to the rear split ring alongside the hook, adding a secondary visual trigger. This specimen, identified by product code 10876, is unused, though it shows a small mark from storage. It measures 3 1/4" (8.5cm) in length and comes equipped with a heavy-duty swivel at the nose to help manage line twist during a day of casting or trolling near structure.
