Museum Archive: Vintage Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, 1/2oz RTL1 Lectric Silver fishing lure #9404

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this lipless crankbait is a classic example of the American-made Bill Lewis design legacy. The RTL1 Lectric Silver colorway features a detailed fish-print pattern with a prominent black spot behind the gill cover and a teal-to-blue gradient along the dorsal ridge. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm), this lure carries product code 9404 and is equipped with two silver-tone treble hooks. The condition of this specimen is a 4/5, showing visible paint loss on the nose and light wear along the underside of the belly from previous use. Internally, the lure contains extra-loud rattles designed to be heard through the hull of a boat. It is engineered to produce a tight wobbling action that remains effective whether fished with a standard retrieve or jigged vertically.
