A vibrant Fire Tiger pattern dominates the profile of this larger-sized lipless crankbait, featuring a bright green back that transitions into a yellow flank and a distinct orange belly strip. At a weight of 3/4 oz (21 g) and measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, this Bill Lewis specimen, identified by product code 7947, represents the heavier class of the classic design. The finish remains in excellent condition, rated 5/5, showcasing bold black markings and the characteristic dark head section typical of this specific color variation. Internally, the lure houses the signature extra-loud rattling chamber designed to produce a sound frequency that travels through the water column, aiding in detection within stained or dirty water. The hardware consists of two sharp, silver-finished treble hooks. This sinking lure is built for long-distance casting and can be fished using vertical jigging techniques during colder months when fish congregate near deep structures. The white-rimmed eye provides a sharp visual contrast against the dark forward section of the body.
