It is a "line-thru" as you can see.

Anyone know this brand and where to get more?

It looks like a "Little George" tailspinner made by Mann's bait company.
They have been around for years.

It's not a Little George, although it is a similar design. Little George's
have a line tie and the hook is attached to a hanger embedded in the body.
The one Shred showed passes the line through the body, then the hook is tied
on. I remember seeing those lures someplace, but I can't remember the name
of the company. Perhaps Rich Z. will know.

I remember seeing the ad for them too. The whole concept of them that set
them apart from the Little George is that the body was free to slide on the
line, thus keeping the weight of the lure from working the hook out of the
fish.

While they're not the exact same thing as you pictured, they are similar.

Thanks Steve.

It would be awesome if these line throughs has a swivel for the blade.
The one I pictured also has the ability to change blades to a little
Willow Leaf.

Close though...real close.
Thanks!

Turns out it's a "Thruster Tail" by Strike King.

Out of production unfortunately.

Hit every gas station/grocery/hardware that carries fishing stuff and
ask if they have any in the back room. Might be surprised.
