Can anyone ID this lure? I got it out of an old tackle box and I don't know what it is. It appears to be made of wood, has a very strange propeller, glass eyes, and no writing or stamps.

The bait is now owned and being sold by Luhr-Jensen. This is one of the highest quality wooden baits made in fairly recent years, and the spinners and hardware is also high quality. They also made a Zara type wooden lure that I believe Charlie Campbell was involved in some way in development and promotion. The lures are not marked but the boxes are easy to distinguish. Many had the painted eyes and I'm not familiar with that ones color..in a box they sell around $18-$25 each

Green for the ID.
Thank you so much. I went to the Luhr-Jensen website and I believe the sunshine perch color matches it although the colors on the lure are much more brilliant than their pictures. Do you happen to know what year they were manufactured?

One of the best top water baits I have ever used. Sweet! I have not seen one around for a long time. It was used more up north I think.
