Does Anyone Recognize This Lipless Crank?

I was looking through my box and stumbled upon this bait. Have no idea what it is. Does anyone know?

the diamond pattern looks a lot like a Cordell Spot

Agreed.

This was my original thought as well.

Nope, the Strike King Diamond Shad had the diamond pattern molded into the plastic, this bait looks like a custom painted Cordell Spot, I say custom painted because I have never seen a Spot with that pattern and I´ve seen a lot of them,of course I could be wrong but definately not a Diamond Shad.

I don't think it's either of the two suggested. I just checked all my Cordell spots and SK diamond shads and the eyes are not located that far to the front.

Raul the design of the diamond shad has changed a few times over the years, the tell tale sign that this may very well be a diamond shad is the location and design of the eye. Here is a picture of an older diamond shad, notice the fin on the back, but take a look at the design and position of the eye.

Cabela's had a ton of special buy Diamond Shads several years ago with those eyes very far forward. I bought a bunch of them but not sure I still own any of them.
