Museum Archive: Vintage Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, 1/2oz Light Blue / Silver fishing lure #2576

Embossed lettering "Rat-L-Trap" sits clearly on the silver belly of this 1/2 oz (14 g) specimen. The color scheme features a vibrant Light Blue back that transitions into silver scaled flanks, accented by subtle black vertical bars. Carrying the product code 2576, this 3" (7.5 cm) lipless crankbait showcases the classic USA-made design of Bill Lewis. A signature script is visible on the side near the rear hook hanger, complementing the high-quality chrome finish. This specific lure is in 5/5 condition, maintaining its original luster. Internally, the chamber contains extra-loud rattles designed for high auditory presence during a retrieve. The hardware consists of two belly-mounted trebles, ready for casting across large flats or jigging vertically near deep structures. A striking red eye is set into the silver head, providing a classic contrast to the blue and chrome body.
