Does anybody recognize the blade shape or design of this chatterbait?

Picked it up from dicks the other day as I really liked the green pumpkin/shad color but i'm thinking i got bamboozled.

It was in a Zman project z package labeled as 1/2oz green pumpkin shad, and having never seen the project Z series I assumed they just made some tweaks to the blade design, used a smaller tungsten head, etc….when i realized the blade didn't have any branding on it i started looking it up (looks nothing like the project z baits….) and it seems like somebody may have bought it, swapped out the bait, and returned the fake.

It feels well made and even the powder coating on the head seems well done (plus that color is gonna be killer in my area), so i'm thinking I'll just fish it and see what happens, but I'd like to get an idea of what I actually purchased.

    Yep the connection of the blade to the jighead and the blade shape are not right for Z-Man. I’d just fish it though like you said, it could be a good lure. Blades with that shape are easy to order online so it could be a hand built bait
