Museum Archive: Weedless Panther Martin Chinook Verde 5 UV, 3/4oz Chartreuse / Nickel fishing spoon #12351

A hammered chartreuse finish covers the broad surface of this Italian-made spoon, providing a textured appearance that captures light across its surface. This unused Weedless Panther Martin Chinook Verde 5 UV, identified by product code 12351, carries a substantial weight of 3/4oz (21g) and spans 3 1/4" (8.5cm). Engineered for heavy cover, the construction features an integrated wire weed guard protecting the single hook, a design choice intended to prevent snags in dense vegetation. The luminous properties of the paint are specifically formulated to glow under UV light, providing high visibility in dark or stained water. A bright red plastic flipper at the rear adds a visual point of interest against the nickel-backed body. The number '5' is stamped prominently into the metal near the head, alongside the manufacturer's hallmark. A robust black barrel swivel is already fitted to the line tie, ensuring the hardware is ready for heavy-duty casting or trolling.
