Default Need Help Finding one

This is without a doubt one of my favorite lures. I've caught countless perch and crappie, along with boat loads of 1-2 lb bass with it. However, I'm getting hesitant to use it very often because I cannot find a replacement or a backup one. Ive looked for months, in every store I can think of, and cannot find one. Its a Rebel Minnow F4901. There are tons of the F49 minnows out there, but this specific one is the original F49 minnow, thus the F4901 designation. All of the newer F49's are smooth surface with a paint job while this one is a rough surface with serations running down the length of the body and some running at an upward angle starting in the rear and moving upwards as they go forwards. I dont seem to have much luck with the newer F49's, but I always knock em dead with this original minnow. They just seem to love it. Anyways, this all boils down to me asking ya'll for a favor.

My supply of them is depleted, I am down to only one that is already wearing thin, and I cant find them anymore. If anybody happens to find one, please let me know and I will be happy to pay you for your services or trade you one lure for another.

thanks chuck, you can tell from the front treble that it has had a few tug-o-wars. Its just a little bitty lure that packs a big punch.
