My guess would be a Troublemaker....3 oz. perhaps!

Troublemaker, 3oz model but probably weighs 2oz tops

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

Troublemaker made 3 sizes....1 oz......2 oz......and 3 oz I believe.
