Stamped clearly on the side is the word "FLOATER," a key identifier for this 3" (7.5 cm) version of the Bill Lewis lipless crankbait. Weighted at 1/3 oz (9 g), this specimen comes in the RT 258 Chrome Black Blue finish, featuring a mirror-like chrome body with a dark back and red detailing on the nose and tail. This specific unit, assigned product code 17584, is preserved in a 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean reflective surface and sharp painted eye details. The design includes a secondary black spot on the flank and the signature flat-head profile where the line tie is located. Within the hollow body, extra-loud rattles are designed to be heard through the water, providing a sonore presence during the retrieve. This USA-made lure is equipped with two belly-set treble hooks and original split rings. The "FLOATER" stamp is a significant feature for anglers targeting shallow structures where the lure's buoyancy helps avoid snags.
