Fluorescent green transitions into a bright yellow midsection and a bold orange belly on this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) lipless crankbait. Identified by Product Code 19052, this Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap specimen displays a classic Fire Tiger pattern, punctuated by dark spots along the flanks. Tipping the scales at a light 3/16 oz (5 g), this particular size is a frequent choice for targeting panfish or pressured bass in various water conditions. The silver-finished treble hooks and split rings show slight signs of oxidation, though the lure body remains quite clean with vibrant pigment throughout. This USA-made classic features the signature internal rattling chamber that the Bill Lewis brand utilized to trigger strikes from neutral fish. I would rate the condition of this specimen a solid 4/5. The line tie is positioned on the crest of the head, ensuring the lure maintains its intended orientation during casting or vertical jigging presentations.
