Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this lipless crankbait is a definitive example of Bill Lewis's contribution to fishing history. This specimen, assigned product code 14474, features the RT 25 color pattern, which consists of a high-reflectivity chrome silver body accented by a blue back and a distinct black spot near the tail. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm), the lure is equipped with its original hardware and a signature yellow eye with a black pupil. It remains in its original clear plastic case, which is marked with the classic "Made in USA" fisherman graphic and carries the factory barcode sticker on the back identifying it as the RT-25 model. The internal rattle chamber is designed for high-decibel sound projection to help locate fish in various water clarities. This lure is unused and remains in its original vintage state within the box. Its design is intended for long-distance casting and quick-sinking applications, allowing anglers to cover significant water or target fish holding near deep-water structures.
