Red base paint accented by irregular black spots gives this 2 1/4" (6 cm) specimen a striking, high-contrast appearance designed for visibility in stained water. Weighing 2/5 oz (12 g), this Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap is a classic lipless crankbait from the Alexandria, Louisiana-based manufacturer, identified by product code 21613. The lure is unused, maintaining its original finish and sharp silver-tone treble hooks, resulting in a condition rating of 6. While the bait remains in untouched state, the clear plastic 'Mini-Trap' packaging shows significant age and damage, with visible cracks and missing segments of the outer casing. The internal rattle chamber is a key design element of this series, intended to produce sound that travels effectively through the water column to attract predators. It features the traditional aerodynamic profile of the Rat-L-Trap line, which collectors often seek for its specific vintage paint schemes and 100% Made in USA heritage.
