Museum Archive: Vintage Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, 1/2oz fishing lure #18074

Measuring 3" (7.5 cm) in length, this specimen features a translucent "ghost" body that highlights the internal rattle chambers. The color scheme pairs a soft pink back with a high-visibility chartreuse belly, which glows a brilliant green under low-light conditions. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), the lure is equipped with its original hardware, including two silver-finished treble hooks. This Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, product code 18074, utilizes extra-loud internal rattles and a tight wobbling action to trigger strikes. The weighted construction allows for a fast sink rate, making it a functional tool for covering expansive water or jigging vertically over deep structure in the colder months. This USA-manufactured lure is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with a clear, well-preserved body and sharp hardware. Large red and black eyes provide a distinct focal point against the clear mid-section.
