Weighted at 1/2 oz (14 g), this lipless crankbait is a quintessential example of the Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap series. The body features a clean gradient that blends a deep blue upper section into a purplish mid-line and a warm gold underside. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm) in length, this specimen carries the product code 14521. A single dark spot is located behind the gold-rimmed eye, providing a classic baitfish profile. The condition is a solid 5/5, with the paint and hardware appearing exceptionally well-preserved. It is rigged with two silver-tone treble hooks and a top-mounted split ring for line attachment. This model is known for its loud internal rattling chamber, which produces a high-frequency sound during the retrieve. Since it is a sinking lure, it allows for various presentation depths depending on retrieve speed or for vertical jigging techniques in deeper wintering holes where fish might be grouped.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
