A weight of 2/5 oz (12 g) gives this Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap the density required for reaching deep structures where fish congregate. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), the specimen sports a vibrant yellow-to-orange belly with a scaled brown top and dark vertical striping. In dark environments, the lure exhibits a bright green glow, making it a specialized tool for stained water or low-light situations. This piece, categorized under product code 17925, is fitted with two sharp treble hooks and maintains a clean exterior that warrants a 5/5 condition rating. The design incorporates a tight wobbling action and a signature acoustic profile created by extra-loud internal rattles. Its profile is streamlined for both long-distance casting and vertical jigging during the colder months when targeting neutral fish near the bottom. The hardware shows no signs of wear, preserving the integrity of the original factory assembly.
