Museum Archive: Vintage Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, 1/2oz Copper fishing lure #7607

Boasting a brilliant Copper mirror finish, this specimen exemplifies why the Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap became a staple in tackle boxes worldwide. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g) with a total length of 3" (7.5 cm), this lure carries product code 7607 and reflects its USA-made heritage. The classic lipless profile is accented by a deep black dorsal strip and a crisp lateral spot on each side. Red paint on the nose and tail remains vibrant, matching the characteristically sharp red eyes. Its hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks and a top-mounted line tie positioned on the small dorsal fin. We have rated the condition as 5/5, as the reflective surfaces are remarkably well-preserved. This model utilizes the internal rattle system, a core characteristic designed into the Bill Lewis lineup to provide an acoustic presence when casting or trolling through various water columns.
