Panther Martin PMRBTSH 2-Dressed Teardrop Spinner Lure – Rainbow Trout – 1/16 oz

Overview

Discover the Panther Martin PMRBTSH 2-Dressed Teardrop Spinner, a compact, single-hook lure designed to entice a broad range of freshwater fish. This bait blends Panther Martin’s time-tested spinning action with two dressed styles, offering flexibility for different waters, lighting, and target species. The weighted teardrop body supports solid casting distance while maintaining a lively, reactive presence in the water during retrieves.

Why this lure stands out

• Convex/concave blade design creates subtle sonic vibrations that fish can sense as you reel, helping the lure feel alive in the water.
• Two new dressed options expand versatility: a gold blade on a black body with yellow accents, and a black fly pattern with a red tail.
• Single-hook construction emphasizes efficient hooking and handling without adding bulk to the presentation.
• Teardrop shape paired with a weighted body delivers stable casting and a steady in-water profile that tracks well through retrieves.
• Metal blades designed to reflect light—gold, silver, copper, or holographic finishes—adding visual flash in varied conditions.

Two dressed styles for versatility

The first dress is the classic gold blade with black body and yellow dots, a combination renowned for visibility and contrast in many fishing environments. The second dress places a black fly pattern with a red fluffy tail, delivering a different silhouette and movement that can trigger strikes when fish are keyed in on shadows or agitation along structure. Both styles are purpose-built for the traditional single-hook category and have demonstrated effectiveness across several freshwater species.

Target species and use cases

While listed for Rainbow Trout, this lure is part of Panther Martin’s broader family that has historically performed with Brook Trout, Brown Trout, and assorted panfish. In addition to trout, anglers report success with Perch, Crappie, Sunfish, Pumpkinseed, White Bass, Peacock Bass, White Perch, Northern Pikeminnow, and Lake Trout under the right conditions.

Tips for use

• Start with a steady, medium retrieve and vary speed; pause briefly to provoke follows in cooler water or deeper pockets.
• Cast toward edges of weed lines or around submerged structure where predatory fish hunt.
• Choose blade finishes and dress patterns based on water clarity and light: brighter blades work in overcast days or stained water, while subtler patterns suit clear, shallow water.

Why choose Panther Martin

With its reliable spinning action, two dressed options, and a history of catching a range of freshwater species, this lure offers versatility without complicating your gear setup. Benefits are context-dependent and best realized as part of a thoughtful, varied tackle strategy.
