Dressed in the RT 18 Trout Classic pattern, the body of this specimen showcases a green back that transitions into a soft blue lateral band and a peach-toned belly. This 2 1/4" (6 cm) lipless crankbait, identified by product code 10568, weighs in at 2/5 oz (12 g) and represents one of the most recognizable silhouettes in tackle history. The finish is in 5/5 condition, with the distinct black speckling sharp across the flanks and the yellow-ringed eye remains clear. Bill Lewis equipped this model with two silver-tone treble hooks and a sturdy top-mounted line tie ring, designed for casting distance and depth control. The hardware is clean and intact, maintaining the original look of this classic trout-mimicking finish. As a sinking lure, it is built to reach deeper water columns where its profile can simulate small forage species.
