Museum Archive: Weedless Panther Martin Weed Wing, 3/5oz Red / White fishing spoon #0742

Striking red and white stripes adorn the broad, spoon-like body of this Weedless Panther Martin Weed Wing. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) and weighing in at 3/5oz (17g), this specimen features the signature front-mounted propeller blade that characterizes the series. Designed for navigating dense vegetation, the single hook is protected by an integrated wire guard to maintain its weedless functionality. The packaging identifies its origin from Harrison-Hoge Industries in Port Jefferson, NY, anchoring it in a specific period of American lure manufacturing. Identified by product code 0742, the lure remains in its original blister pack and is unused. The paint remains vibrant, and the metal components are free from wear, reflecting its well-preserved state. The yellow carding provides a bright backdrop for the classic color scheme of the spoon.
