Vintage Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, 2/5oz fishing lure #22693

Sinking at a steady rate, this 2 1/4" (6 cm) Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap carries a distinctive silver and grey finish that mimics a wounded baitfish with striking red accents along the sides. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), this USA-made lipless crankbait, identified by product code 22693, is engineered for high-impact fishing. The design focuses on extra-loud internal rattles, which were famously intended by Bill Lewis to be audible even through a boat's hull. The paintwork on this specimen remains sharp and vibrant, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Its streamlined body and sinking nature allow for long casts and effective coverage of the water column, whether retrieved steadily or used for vertical jigging near deep structures. The hardware consists of two belly-mounted treble hooks, ready for the water. This particular color scheme provides excellent contrast in both stained and clear conditions, making it a versatile tool for targeting bass, pike, or striped bass.
