Museum Archive: Vintage Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, 1/2oz Green Pearl fishing lure #7250

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14g), this lipless crankbait showcases a Green Pearl finish that catches the light across its textured scale pattern. This Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, identified by product code 7250, measures 3" (7.5cm) and features a translucent olive-toned body with a prominent black shad spot positioned behind the head. The internal rattling chamber is designed to produce a signature acoustic signal that resonates through the water column, a hallmark of this American-made classic. The silver-tone treble hooks and split rings are in excellent shape, earning this specimen a 5/5 condition rating. Often utilized for its fast sink rate and tight wobbling action, this lure is effective for covering large areas of water or vertical jigging near deep structure during colder transitions. The pearlescent green side panels provide a subtle contrast against the yellowish transparency of the upper back.
