Advantages: Style/Design, Performs well
Disadvantages: now made in china :(
"This lure always produces whenever I use them out West . All colors seem to work well , some better than others. I use the 1/32 oz sizes.
Good lure to switch to when the trout seem tired of the regular Panther Martin.
Excellent in small streams using Ultra Light equipment and #4 line.

"I have been using Panther Martin spinners tipped with Gulp garden worms for many years. I have successfully limited out on opening day of trout season for the past 8 years. These spinners have proven to me on numerous occasion that they are effective in catching many different types of freshwater species!.It is truly my one and only confident lure."

"It is great for shallow rivers. I wade out in the rivers and use them all day. this will get smallmouth and bream in no time. I threw the 1/32 0Z with a little weight and caught a little smallmouth in no time. 1/8 is great for those a little bigger. The best color in my opinion is the the gold orange."

"the ultimate fresh water lure. i have caught large mouth, small mouth, walleye. blue gill, perch. crappie, northern pike on this one lure and not just a fish here and there. the gold body and orange feathered is my favorite and i hardly ever have a time where i have used it and not caught fish."

Awesome for the White Bass run in the spring!

from Fox Lake, IL
Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well, Quality
"This is a great presentation for white bass during the spring run.
I like the nickel color and I change out the hook to a red dressed one and it seems to just keep attracting fish year after year. This spinner has never stopped working for me...same lure, same water, same time of the season and it keeps putting fish in the boat.
This spinner with 6# line and a medium light spinning rod is a total riot when the big white bass hit. It makes for a fun day of fishing!"

Trout Killer!

By MikeTeachKC
from Kansas City, MO
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality
Disadvantages: Durability
"For Rainbow Trout, the 1/32 Panther Martin is IT! I'm not sure why, but maybe in the crystal clear, south Missouri trout streams, the flash of the blade and the vibrations from it's off center design just tick off the fish into striking, but it works! That spinner always spins, never gets hung up unless you clog it with algae."

"This particular spinner is best brand of all spinners. I have tried many others and none have the performance that panther marten spinners do.
I have caught just about every species of fish on it that live in ohio. The spinner blade spins the easiest and has the best action. I fish for trout and smallmouth bass and this spinner is one of my top lures that i use.

"Just got back from a trout fishing trip in western maryland and this is the only spinner that worked. I would cast against the current, slowly reel keeping line taught as it worked its way down and then brought it back to me creating a small J. Worked every time! The trout couldn't resist. Panther Martin spinners are by far my favorite for trout fishing and have never let me down."

"I use these on Crane Creek all the time, all colors. I've caught lots of McCloud trout- one of 3 places in the world where they can be found, by far the healthiest (fishable) population. Sometimes I buzz the trebles down to 1 hook with a dremel."

Panther Martin ~ A good buy

"If you're in BPS, you owe it to yourself to pick up a Panther Martin Fly Spinner. Check 'em out, very good in-line spinners that catch fish.
Used them alot when I was younger, wading ponds and creeks with a spincast outfit. Recommended to other fishermen.
The Gold / orange was a favorite.

I can't keep the fish off of these lures!

July 19, 2008
By Luv2fishSmallWater
from Columbia, Maryland
"First off, I love to use ultralight gear when fishing, so these spinners fit right into my style. They cast like bullets and you can "feel" the vibrations that these things throw off in the water. I have caught Bluegills to Largemouth bass on 'em. The best colors for me have been the silver blades with the orange/black fly as well as the gold blade with the orange/black fly.
I got turned onto Panther Martin lures during the 2008 BPS Spring Fishing Classic, when I noticed them in a huge sale bin. I picked up one of each color that was there and haven't looked back since! A great product from Panther Martin!"

"this lure is great for any specie of fish. throw this in a cold water stream, you'll catch trout, throw it in a small stream, you'll catch smallmouth, white bass, crappie, and sauger, throw it in a northern lake and catch northern pike, musky, and walleye, and throw it in a farm pond and you'll catch largemouth and MONSTER BLUEGILL. one great thing is the variety of colors it comes in. if there is a specie of fish you CAN'T catch with, LET ME KNOW!!!!!!!"
