It does look a lot like a Little Cleo
Comment by John Sheehan on October 18, 2015 at 11:02am

These should work well on the Pickerel .Picked  up 2 each in Perch and Chrome Trout patterns . I got the 1/6 th oz. size .They resemble the ACME Little Cleo's that have slammed Pickerel through the years for me. http://www.johnsonfishing.com/johnson-bait-hard-bait/1311925.html#s...
