A striking chrome finish defines this 1/3oz (10g) specimen, accented by a bold 'RED ZONE' stamp printed clearly across its flank. Measuring 3" (7.5cm), this Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, identified by Product Code 13862, features a classic lipless profile designed for both long-distance casting and vertical jigging. The silver body is complemented by a distinctive red chin and belly section, while a prominent black spot sits behind the head. The yellow eyes with black pupils provide a high-contrast focal point against the reflective scales. A sleek black strip runs along the top of the lure, tapering as it reaches the tail. This American-made lure is equipped with two sharp treble hooks and contains the signature extra-loud internal rattles. In 5/5 condition, the lure appears exceptionally well-maintained with a bright surface and clean hardware. These rattles are engineered to produce a sound that travels through the water column, making it a reliable choice for targeting fish in deep structures or stained water.
