Panther Martin Classic Fly Spinner 4 - 3.5 g

Product highlights

The Panther Martin Classic Fly spinner is a freshwater lure classic. Designed to provoke strikes from the wariest fish, it stands out thanks to its fly-dressed hook, which adds a pronounced visual and vibratory signal. This combination of a spinning blade and a mounted fly makes it a versatile lure for trout, perch and chub, especially effective when fish are focused on small prey.

The specific shape of its blade and its central shaft deliver a immediate rotation at the slightest twitch, even in slow or irregular currents. This rapid action generates light flashes and regular pulses that mimic a small fish or a struggling insect, attracting predators from a distance. The fly dressing on the hook creates a clear focal point that allows the fish to target its strike precisely.

Thanks to its robust, balanced design, this spoon provides excellent casting ease and control. It suits both beginners and spoon-fishing specialists, who appreciate its effectiveness in rivers as well as in stillwaters, across different positions: current seams, margins, calm zones or deeper pools.

Technical specifications

• Inline spinner with integrated fly on the hook, for a strong visual signal and a clear strike point.
• Profiled metal body, engineered to ensure proper weight and a controlled descent through the water column.
• Spinning blade mounted on a central shaft for steady, regular rotation from the moment it hits the water.
• Fly-style dressing on the hook, imitating an insect or small prey and reinforcing the illusion of a live bait.
• Design suited for river, stream, canal, lake and pond fishing in freshwater.
• Lure intended for targeting trout, perch, chub and other small to medium-sized predators.
• Compatible with most classic freshwater spinner rigs (nylon or fluorocarbon mainline, appropriate leader).
• Available in several options to adjust weight and appearance to fishing conditions while preserving the Classic Fly spoon architecture.

Advantages and strengths

The main asset of the Panther Martin Classic Fly is the pairing of an ultra-reactive blade with a fly mounted on the hook. This combination creates a double stimulus: the blade’s vibration attracts fish from afar, while the fly provides a precise visual target at the moment of the strike. The result is a noticeable increase in bites and a higher hookup rate, especially when fish are wary or heavily pressured.

Another major advantage is its great seasonal versatility. This spinner performs well during fast summer retrieves when fish are active in currents, and also during cooler periods by animating more slowly near the bottom or in calm water. It allows efficient prospecting of different water layers simply by adjusting retrieval speed and sink time.

The Classic Fly is also appreciated for its stability in current. Even in pronounced current seams or eddies behind obstacles, the blade keeps turning without jamming, enabling you to search difficult spots where the biggest fish often lie. Its design limits line twist when mounted on a properly balanced rig.

Finally, it is a reliable and durable lure — a true all-rounder that many anglers keep permanently in their box. Whether you fish mountain rivers, lowland streams or small stillwaters, this trout and perch spoon remains a dependable choice for eliciting consistent bites.

Usage tips

To get the most out of the Panther Martin Classic Fly, use a light to medium outfit with a sensitive rod and a smooth reel. A mainline in nylon or fluorocarbon of a diameter suited to the targeted species will keep the presentation discreet while maintaining precise lure control.

In rivers, cast slightly upstream or quartering upstream and follow the drift while keeping constant contact with the spinner. Let it sink to the desired depth then start a steady retrieve, occasionally adding short accelerations or very brief pauses to trigger reflex strikes. Focus on cut banks, breaks, faster current seams and pool entries where the spinning action quickly draws the attention of holding fish.

On lakes or ponds, the Classic Fly is ideal for fan-shaped prospecting. Vary retrieval speed: fast to target active fish near the surface, slower to persuade fish hugging the bottom or suspended in midwater. A slight wrist twitch now and then brings extra life to the fly on the hook and can provoke following strikes.

Choose the variant according to depth, current strength and fish activity while keeping the Classic Fly architecture and its characteristic fly. Check the hook and dressing regularly: a sharp hook and intact fly guarantee maximum effectiveness.
