A KGB Operative Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Literally no markings on it whatsoever of what company. Quote
Super User Scott F Posted April 2, 2015 Super User Posted April 2, 2015 It's a Matzuo, Okoru Shad Popper. Not currently available in their catalog. It's funny, I just posted earlier today that I have some of those and they've been my number one topwater for smallmouth. I have 3 of them left and none of them have much paint left on them. 1 Quote
A KGB Operative Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 It's my best popper and one of my most cherished lures. I only have the one left. I googled your answer but when I got the lure it came with feathers. Thats the only thing didn't match the picture Quote
primetime Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 It looks like some of the lure bodies that they sell on barlows, netcraft, hagens, and then you buy your own trebles, feathered etc... That does look like a Matzuo, or an Owner, Strike Pro model.....The color looks like the older Owner's back when they had the zip n ziggy, but Bass Pro has a house brand that has a similar shape when it comes to the mouth....If it is your top producer I would look for one that has a similar sound and size, you can always modify the hooks etc... Good luck, companies like Hurricane, Tsunami, and other's are always making lures then discontinuing them a year later, or it could be an OEM import sold on ebay...I have been seeing a lot of poppers in lots of 6-8 for a buck each that look similar to many versions today.

Possible they went one direction or another and you just got the batch with feathers. Even if they don't offer the dressed tail treble anymore it isn't like it's hard to buy a dressed treble and swap them out. Quote
