I THINK that is called a Shad or Bluegill color.

It’s definitely a Shad Rap, thinking size 5 or 7. I bought it years ago, haven’t fished in probably 10 years. Saturday me n wifey went out in boat we got last fal. This was only lure that worked, just wanted a spare. Any help welcome.

this is close to the color you and your wife had success with, maybe a shad rap in gold shad might work?

I believe the Dt4 is a squarebill and i've never heard of a dt 5, so maybe its a dt10?

As already stated, it's a #5 Risto rap in gold shad.
But I wouldn't get too hung up in the fact it was the only thing working one particular day. Things change by the hour, what works in the morning may not work later in the day. And certainly won't stay the same day to day. It's usually better to have a variety of baits to try instead of banking any one particular lure to work every time.

Fat Raps are an entirely different bait, not an oversize Shad Rap. Different shape and everything. It's a Risto Rap.

Definitely not a Bagley. It’s a Rapala.

Looks like a rubber worm to me or maybe a spinner bait. I need something in the picture for size reference. laugh Oh, the color, definitely red crawdad or maybe silver black back.

Edit: after further review I believe its a daredevil spoon, 5 of diamonds, or maybe red stripe. Great for northerns.
