Stickbait ID Needed???

[Joe S]

Need some help identifying this stickbait.   It's for sure not a Rapala (i checked with them) but can't remember where i got it or the make.   It is 4" long and the hooks are galvinzied.  It is a floating at rest, dives 5-6' when cranked.   Key also is a squared bill much like stubby crank baits. 

 

Have caught dozens of fish on this one (see the battle scars)  from bass to pike to walleye and even lake trout.    Want to get another but am at a loss on who makes it. 

 

Appreciate the help...!

Looks like a Smithwick to me.

I think it is a Rattlin Rogue Jr.  Those are discontinued if it is...

[Joe S]

JA -   thanks.  I'll give that a look up.   For sure it is an old one.  I've had it for at least 25 years.

Nilsmaster?

Bagley?

Webertime.  well i have a note off to Nils and did a check on Bagley.   For sure the Bang O lure in the Tennesee Shad/Orange Belly is the closest i have ever seen although it is missing the red gil marks and squared bill.    It might just be a good replacement if i cannot find the original above.   Thanks! 

 

UPDATE:    I talked with both Bagley and Nils.  Neither claim it to be theirs.  Of course Bagley did note (as i did above) that is is really close to their Bang O  4"  in the color noted.

Looks like a Rapala Countdown

Looks to be a lure put out by "The Producers" the gill, eye and square lip suggest one called Roscoes shiner by them... You can find them on eBay

SLF ---    You nailed it!   I just looked them up and found a pic on google.   It's is one of the Roscoe Shiners.     I had got a bunch of these from my dad when i was a kid and forgot all about that maker.
