Museum Archive: Vintage ​Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, 3/4oz fishing lure #14090

Chrome finishes on the flanks of this Bill Lewis classic provide high visibility, accented by a deep blue back and a vibrant red paint detail at the nose. Identified by product code 14090, this lipless crankbait measures 3 1/2" (9cm) and maintains a clean 5/5 condition rating. The body design includes a prominent black gill spot and realistic red eyes that stand out against the reflective silver sides. Originating from the USA, the construction utilizes a top-mounted line tie designed for a tight wobbling action while its internal extra-loud rattles send sound waves through the water column. At a weight of 3/4oz (21g), the lure is well-suited for covering large expanses of water or reaching deeper structures where fish may be holding. The hardware consists of two original-style treble hooks secured by sturdy split rings.
