Need a lure ID.

I managed to snag this lure while fishing on saturday.
The tail is marked Berkely, and the head has no markings. There are internal rattles, and it dives to around 3-4ft.
Head is hard plastic, hollow. Tail is soft plastic, and slides snugly into the back of the head. Single, rusted hook.
I looked around on berkely site, but its not there, so it must be a discontinued lure.

Anyone recognize this lure?

The head looks like a Rapala Fat rap , but the back end not sure ...... maybe it is a "frankenstein" lure ( home made job that some one was experimenting with ) ?

its a cut bait head, the tails are inter changable, used a lot for salmon fishing to mimic baitfish, i think that tail is used to mimic golby for bass
 
my dad had lures just like that but without the lip. we used them for pike when i lived in alberta over 15 years ago. haven't really seen much like it since. mid-post i decided to look them up and found them. they were called berkley powerbait lipless crankbaits. had amazing action and could guarantee a few fish. he had an assortment of colours but the go to ones were gold, silver and firetiger
