Need help with Ident on this jerkbait. Buddy of mine pulled this thing out the other day and almost put a spankin on me.

I asked him what bait it was and he like me, suffers from oldtimers disease! We were in susky smallmouth jerkin. I’m guessin it’s an older Yo-zuri. TIA for any ideas

TIA

Yo-Zuri Crystal 3D Floating Minnow

Yo Zuri but I don't know the model name? I still may have some around here somewhere.

Doesn't Yo Zuri stamp all their baits? 

Thanks for info guys 👍🏻.
It does not have anything to tell manufacturer?

The yo-zuri’s i have do tho. 

 

Reckon I’m gonna have to get a couple these crickets. 

Looks like a Daiwa TD Minnow 75SP ghost Ayu with added feathered rear hook.

I think it's an older Zuri, the color is right and they used that in different sizes for crystal, mag and pins minnows.  The newer crystal.  A little tough to tell from the pic because of the angle.  The older small crystal minnows still had that triangular body shape, but they were thinner, with a shorter and thinner lip.  Pretty confident it's the larger size pins minnow.  Good luck finding that color though.
