A weight of 1/2oz (14g) provides the necessary density for this Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap to sink quickly toward deep structures or wintering holes. Measuring 3" (7.5cm) in length, the body features a dark, dusky brown back that transitions into a vibrant burnt orange along the flanks. Cataloged under product code 13451, this specimen maintains a condition rating of 5/5, with its original finish and hardware showing no significant signs of wear. The design incorporates a signature black spot behind the head and a gold-rimmed eye, characteristic of this classic lipless series. Both treble hooks are secured by clean split rings, and the top-mounted line tie is centered for stability during the retrieve. Known for its internal rattle chamber, the lure is built to produce a specific sound profile intended to be heard through the water column, especially useful in stained or dirty water. The flat-sided construction and weighted belly are designed for a tight wobbling action when cast or jigged vertically.
