Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless Panther Martin Weed Wing, 2/5oz fishing spoon #13784

Finished in a deep matte black, this Italian-made casting lure stands as a testament to the utility-focused design of Panther Martin. Weighing in at 2/5oz (12g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the Weedless Panther Martin Weed Wing features a robust single hook protected by dual wire guards. These guards are specifically engineered to navigate through lily pads and heavy vegetation where standard spoons might snag. The solid black finish on the body shows some minor signs of past use, earning it a condition rating of 4/5. Collectors will note the distinct hardware configuration and the product code 13784 associated with this model's production. This particular lure, originating from Italy, highlights the brand's expansion into specialized weedless applications beyond their famous spinners. The eyelet at the front is securely integrated into the tapered nose, ensuring a direct connection for casting into dense cover. Small areas of the underlying metal are visible near the rear on the black finish, characteristic of authentic vintage pieces that have been curated from a working tackle box.
