Vintage Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap Floater, 1/3oz Chrome Blue Back fishing lure #17062

Stamped clearly on the side with the "FLOATER" designation, this 3" (7.5 cm) lipless crankbait offers a specialized approach to the classic Bill Lewis lineup. Carrying the product code 17062, it weighs 1/3 oz (9 g) and features the time-tested Chrome Blue Back pattern. The chrome finish on this particular lure shows honest signs of use, with significant wear along the midsection and lower body that reveals the underlying material, earning it a 3/5 condition rating. Collectors will appreciate that the "FLOATER" stamp remains sharp and legible despite the surface loss. The hardware consists of weathered bronze trebles and the standard top-mounted line tie. While most Traps are known for their fast-sinking nature, this floating version is built to be worked over shallow cover or paused to rise slowly, providing a different look for pressured fish. The large yellow eyes and the signature black dot on the silver flanks remain intact, rounding out the classic aesthetic of this American-made tackle staple.
