Museum Archive: Vintage Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, 1/2oz RT 110 fishing lure #7575

Metallic gold paint coats the belly of this 3" (7.5cm) classic, providing a sharp contrast to the blue and purple hues along its spine. Carrying the product code 7575, the lure features the RT 110 color pattern and is characterized by a prominent black 'kill dot' on the flank. This Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap weighs in at 1/2oz (14g), a versatile size for long-distance casting when you need to cover large flats quickly. The condition is a clear 5/5, with the metallic finish remaining vivid and showing no visible wear. Manufactured in the USA, the construction relies on internal rattles to provide the high-frequency sound signature these lipless baits are famous for. Two silver-tone treble hooks are attached via durable split rings, ensuring the hardware is as robust as the body itself. A bright yellow eye with a deep black pupil sits near the nose, providing a focused target point for following fish.
