Can you ID this lure?

I think It's going to take an old timer to recognize these. From the late '70's. They are fished like a Silver Minnow.

The metal lips keep coming off and you'd lose the fish, so they quit making them.

Correct ID, but I have never lost a fish on one due to a break....up to 6 lbs. BTW, some are listed for $50 on Ebay, NIB sold for $119.
