Default Mystery Box Lure

My brother received a mystery box of fishing tackle as a Christmas present several years ago. As many others have discovered, it contained, mostly, items of little value or effectiveness.. However, one of the jigging spoons is very effective. Problem is, the packaging has disappeared and there are no markings on the jig, which is 2 1/2" long, shaped like a minnow and weighs 3/8-1/2 oz. I have enclosed a picture of it, hoping someone can recognize it. Any ideas?

Put the belly from the peanut bunker onto the stingn0se or lengthen the lail of the peanut bunker and the silhouette would be real close. Also, mystery lure is painted. Thundermist is either gold or silver. Good starting point REW. Thanks

It sure does, Homer. Thank you. I'm sure it did not have basspro or cabelas packaging when it came out of the mystery box, but it sure looks identical. Pricey little devil. I'd send you a reward, but then I couldn't afford the spoon. Again ,thanks to you and all the WC members who viewed my thread.
