Quick take
A 1/16 oz teardrop spinner with dressed hackle that mimics flies and terrestrial insects for trout and panfish.
This is a size 2 Panther Martin Dressed teardrop spinner in a Gold/Black Fly pattern, weighing 1/16 oz. Its light weight suits small streams and ponds where trout, perch and crappie hold, and it also draws walleye and bass. The blade turns on a shaft through the body and the lure carries a treble hook, so it is easy to fish with a steady retrieve.
Best for
- Ultralight streams and small creeks
- Trout and panfish on light line
- Early morning and evening fishing
Skip if
- You fish windy conditions or need distance
- You fish heavy weeds
Strengths
- Compact teardrop shape casts cleanly despite light weight
- Unique shaft-through-blade creates fast spin
- Dress fibers add realism that attracts strikes
Trade-offs

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
