Hi all!

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I have had this Rapala (?) lure since the 90's and it was more of a good luck charm for me than a great producer of fish. Unfortunately, I lost it to a bad snag a little while ago. I would really like to find another, most likely on eBay i would guess, as I am sure they are discontinued at this point. For the life of me, I cannot remember what model it was. I have done a number of searches for "Rapala", "fat rap" "glass", etc, including an image search with the image below. i have come up with nothing so far. As you can see, the lure is clear, with silver/black spot coloring, and red eyes. It was a pretty deep runner too. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

The craw works well for me in spring. It's the first craw lure I ever had.

I've used a lot of different ones. The baby bass and smallmouth patterns have produced well for me to . Fire Tiger is another .
