Museum Archive: Vintage Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, 2/5oz fishing lure #19207

Weighing 2/5 oz (12 g), this lipless crankbait is engineered for long-distance casting and a quick sink rate to reach deeper structure. The color scheme presents a vibrant blue top that transitions through a yellowish-green midsection into a silver belly, marked by dark vertical stripes. A notable orange chin accent provides a localized strike point at the front of the 2 1/4" (6 cm) body. Labeled under product code 19207, this Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap features a signature internal chamber with extra-loud rattles designed to transmit sound even through boat hulls. The hardware includes two clean treble hooks, and the lure is in 5/5 condition. While it maintains a tight wobbling action during a steady retrieve, the weighted design also serves as a productive tool for vertical jigging when predators are holding tight to deep wintering holes.
