An orange belly provides a sharp contrast against the pearl-toned sides of this 3" (7.5 cm) lipless crankbait. This Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, identified by product code 20527, showcases a classic Gold Tenn Shad color scheme with a dark green scaled back and a distinct black spot behind the gills. At 1/2 oz (14 g), the lure is weighted for long-distance casting and reaching depths quickly. The hardware consists of two silver-finished treble hooks attached by durable split rings, showing no signs of use. Rated 5/5, the finish is clean and the eyes are bright, reflecting a high level of preservation for a vintage piece. The lipless, flat-sided construction is purpose-built for housing internal rattles that create a specific acoustic presence under the water. It is a versatile tool for both vertical jigging in wintering holes or searching large flats for active bass and pike.
