Wolverine split rings helped my guess

Size of the body and the eye placement is further back from the lip slot than on the smaller models! :uhuh:

Troublemaker makes a big one and small one. Based on the pic Compared to the ones i have guessed it was bigger one.

Bigfish's response makes more sense than my guess

The big one is supposed to weigh 3oz, but I have 4 of them that weigh 2 to 2.25oz and cast like wet snot.

I replaced the lip with a pikie 3 and added a belly weight and small tail weight. Casts great, swims on top if you slow crank it and dives down a foot or so with a steady retrieve
