Museum Archive: Vintage Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap , 1/2oz fishing lure #10746

Striking orange tones paired with bold, dark vertical stripes define the aesthetic of this classic lipless specimen. Weighing 1/2oz (14g) and measuring 3" (7.5cm) in length, this Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, product code 10746, arrives in a condition rated at 5/5. Known for its internal chamber housing extra-loud rattles that can resonate through a boat's hull, the lure is built to trigger reactions from neutral fish. The construction features a dorsal line tie and two original-style treble hooks, making it suitable for long-distance casting or vertical jigging in deeper wintering holes. Its high-visibility orange pattern is particularly effective when targeting bass or pike in stained or dirty water where the tight wobbling action and acoustic signature help predators track the lure. This USA-made tackle piece retains all its original hardware and vibrant finish.
