Red finish with distinct dark vertical bars covers this 3" (7.5 cm) Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, a design that famously mimics a crawfish profile. Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), this model features the iconic scale-like honeycomb pattern along its back, adding a layer of tactile detail often found on these vintage American-made specimens. The line tie is positioned on the dorsal side, characteristic of its sinking nature and intended for techniques ranging from long-distance casting to vertical jigging over deep structure. This specific lure, carrying product code 14820, shows some light signs of use on the body and hardware, earning a solid 4/5 condition rating. Inside, the signature extra-loud rattle chamber remains intact, designed by Bill Lewis to create a sound profile audible through the water column. The hardware includes two treble hooks attached via silver-tone split rings.
