Museum Archive: Vintage Bill Lewis DIVIN' MAG TRAP Rat-L-Trap Floater, 2/5oz fishing lure #8860

Stamped clearly on the side and belly with the word 'FLOATER', this chrome-finished specimen stands out from the sinking varieties more common in the Rat-L-Trap lineage. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), the Bill Lewis DIVIN' MAG TRAP, product code 8860, incorporates signature loud internal rattles and a tight wobbling action. The reflective silver body is accented by a classic black spot on the flank and a yellow eye, with a distinct red mark at the nose just above the clear plastic diving lip. Unlike the traditional lipless design, this version is built to float at rest and dive during the retrieve. Two belly-mounted treble hooks are present, showing the integrity of the original hardware despite the passing years. Rated at a 5/5, the lure remains in excellent condition with the chrome finish retaining a strong mirror-like quality and very minimal signs of handling.
