A textured green glitter back transitions into yellow-cream sides marked by bold vertical stripes on this 1/2 oz (14 g) lure. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm), this Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, identified by product code 10127, represents a classic lipless design from the USA. The specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, showing no wear on its vibrant red throat or the distinct red eyes with black pupils. Built for sound, the internal rattles provide a heavy acoustic signature that helps fish locate the bait even in low-visibility conditions. The construction includes a small dorsal fin and two silver-finished treble hooks. While traditionally cast for bass, the lure's design allows for vertical jigging during colder months when fish hold near deep-water structures. Its technical profile is defined by a tight wobbling action intended to trigger strikes from neutral fish in both clear and stained water.
