I had this small crankbait sitting at the bottom of my tackle box for years and never really used it, I decided to tie it on recently and started slamming decent fish (decent for a small pond) left and right. Had good luck with it for a couple days till it snapped off on a hookset. I've been looking all over for a replacement but there are no identifiers, that I can tell, and I just cant find it for the life of me. It was slow sinking, swam about 2-6 feet deep, had a really hard action, and a really loud rattle. Any ideas?

It's a very amatuerish looking paint job. I'd guess it was a blank someone painted. I'd bet you could get something like a Bandit 200 or Strike King model 3 in a perch pattern and find very similar, if not better results. 

That dorsal fin should make for an easy ID...having said that I have no idea who made it. 

The pictures are a little tough, but  I think I know what that is, but they don't make them anymore, and fleabay is the only place I see them.

The last pic it looks black. Did you paint over the perch pattern? Is it originally translucent? I have a very similar looking squarebill in color and build but that lip threw me.
