That lure is a pointer sp. I found mine beach combing, fell in love and use it religiously.

It had a black and purple top, silver holographic sides, and a black kill spot. The bill was sort of an odd shape, maybe a spade or tear drop? It dives 2-3 feet with tons of tight action and suspends very nicely when you let up on it. Overall length of body is similar to a Shad Rap 5, so 5 cm or so.

No markings at all on it, but this thing is killer on catching bluegills and crappies off the dock. Got snagged by a 30" pike this weekend and snapped my Fireline instantly. I was mostly upset that I lost the lure. Can anyone take a stab at a lure identification here? Thanks in advance!

I also posted this on another fishing website. Based on the age of everything else in the lot I bought, I would guess it was made between 1980 and 1995. Guesses so far have been Flicker Shad, Wally Diver, Crystal Minnow, and Lindy Shadling. This is a thinner profile than most of those. For size reference, the lure just below that first pic is a Rapala Floater #9 (or knock-off it appears). I'm also attaching a second pic for size reference (see thicker Rapala Shad Rap 5 in Firetiger near top).

I think I had a Daiwa SC Shiner knock off. The SC's are VERY close to what I had and have similar action. I did catch 10 pannies off the dock with the SC, so I think I'm back in action again for next June. The lure bill definately had this type of shape (see reflection in mirror).

Pick up a couple if you see them in the stores. Great early season lure.

I am in agreement. The brand was Renegade sold at Walmart for 2 bucks.
