Museum Archive: Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, 1/2oz fishing lure #13992

Chrome finishes like the one on this 1/2 oz (14 g) specimen are legendary for their high-flash reflection in various water clarities. This Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, identified by product code 13992, remains unused in its original hard plastic case. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm) in length, the lure features a brilliant silver chrome body paired with a classic black back and a distinct black eye spot. The internal sound chamber produces the famous extra-loud rattles that help predators track the lure in stained water. Equipped with original Mustad treble hooks, the construction is robust and ready for standard casting or vertical presentations over wintering holes. Manufactured in the USA, this specimen showcases the tight wobbling design that Bill Lewis Outdoors established as an industry standard. The hardware remains bright, and the finish shows no signs of use, maintaining the integrity of the original strike-point dot.
