Used to use another color version of these for freshwater when I was a kid. They are sometimes called "Eelets" but are sometimes sold on "cards" in bulk. Used to be awesome for trout, but have taken monster ickerel with them, REELED. I don't know how they'd fare jigging.

Could almost be a Doctor Spoon, the red spots and the profile look suspicious. ???

Doc was one of Grampa's favorites!

Seems you already know what it is, an "eel" made by thomas lures, they make several other lures and I think at one time were involved with Acme, makers of castmasters, little cleos, phobes and other stamped spoons.
Although I have several in my tackle box, it's been some time since I've seen them on the market. I have never really used them for ice fishing, but can think of no reason they would'nt work.
