I'm thinking Reaction Strike jointed bluegill
Look at the bottom of this page
http://www.reactionstrike.com/page1.html

If it's not that, it's something very similar

Good call Rob. Thanks.

22nd century has a pretty sweet proto-type rounded bluegill that is 3 joints that would be a fun swimming version to throw during the summer. Hopefully they will release, but it sounded like Scott's hesitation was that it takes him just as much time to make those as the big baits and he would have to charge just as much as he does for the 5-6 inch triple trouts. He's not sure what type of market there is for a $50 bluegill or shad version of his bait.

I emailed Richard at Reaction Strike and asked him if it is his bait. He said no, but very close.

Hmmm...I have no clue then. Thanks for the 411 Wade. Might be worth checking it out in a more natural color although it does look very similar to the reaction. The only difference I noticed was the clear tail section vs. the white tail section of the reaction strike and a seemingly bigger gap between the head and body joint.

It looks like what is selling on Ebay. Several colors available. Don't know if it will even swim right. I think I remember them saying it was a China made bait.
