Museum Archive: Vintage Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, 1/2oz fishing lure #15363

Translucent copper-toned plastic construction makes product code 15363 stand out in any tackle box. This 3" (7.5cm) Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap weighs in at 1/2oz (14g), offering the necessary density for long-distance casting or vertical jigging in deeper wintering holes. The exterior finish features a dark, mesh-like scale pattern that creates a natural contrast against the glowing orange-brown body. High-quality hardware is a priority here, with two silver-finished treble hooks and a top-mounted line tie split ring all showing in 5/5 condition. The large, silver-rimmed eyes with deep black pupils provide a clear target near the head of the lure. Internally, the signature rattle chamber is visible through the side walls, ready to produce the high-volume acoustic profile this model is known for. No signs of wear are present on the body or the hooks, keeping the intricate printed graphics and finish perfectly intact.
