Dressed in a vibrant red and orange crawfish pattern with bold black vertical striping, this specific Rat-L-Trap specimen represents the enduring legacy of USA-made Bill Lewis craftsmanship. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length and weighing 2/5 oz (12 g), the lure is optimized for long-distance casting and a quick sink rate to reach fish holding in deeper water. Identified by product code 12504, the item is in pristine condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its well-preserved finish and original hardware. The top-mounted line tie and internal rattle chambers are hallmarks of this design, engineered to provide an audible signature that fish can detect even in stained or dirty water. Silver-tone treble hooks remain sharp, attached to the lipless body via reliable split rings. Detailed molding around the eyes and gills highlights the quality control of this specific production run.
