I know exactly what you are talking about.
I had a knock-off F9 black and silver rapala (brand unknown) that out fished everything.
Prob caught 1000 small and large mouth bass.
I swear they saw it coming before it hit the water and raced each other to bite it.
One day, about 15 years ago, the lip just broke off for no reason and fishing has never been the same since.
Other than that, hmmm, i dont know, maybe an F18 same as above (authentic) that I have now with the paint flaking off.
