Vintage Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, 1/2oz fishing lure #14715

An earthy orange-gold hue covers the sides of this vintage specimen, accented by a deep brown strip running along the flat top of the head. Produced in the USA by Bill Lewis, this Rat-L-Trap (Product Code 14715) features the signature lipless profile that has become a staple in tackle boxes. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), the body spans 3" (7.5 cm) and displays a distinct dark shoulder spot alongside a smaller eye detail. The hardware consists of a top-mounted line tie with an included split ring and two sturdy treble hooks. The finish is remarkably well-preserved, earning a 5/5 condition rating for its clean and vibrant appearance. Internal rattles are housed within the body, a technical feature designed to create sound through the water during a steady retrieve. Its construction reflects the reliable manufacturing standards associated with mid-century American-made lures.
