Fishing Tackle Question?

Someone gave me and old tackle box that was full of soft plastic(melted) Lures, along with several standard lures such as rooster tails, poppers and crank baits. I have seen all of the lures before with the exception of one and I was wondering if anyone knew when they had been made or if they are still available. The lure in question is a soft plastic which has somehow come out of the box unscathed, even the hooks in it are in A+ condition. The lure though is about 5-6 inches long and is in the shape and coloration of a catfish complete with whiskers. Does anyone have any info on these lures, also what would they be designed to catch?

that sounds like an old one by “weber”. l think it was called a mudcat or baby mudcat. was made for bass. would probably be taken by a walleye.
I am sorry I can’t tell you what it is, but I think I do know what it was designed to catch. It was probably designed to catch largemouth bass. Are you sure it does not look like a mouse? There are still many types of mouse lures being produced.
