Bright orange hues dominate the RT 27 ORANGE CRAWDAD finish on this classic Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap RT-27. Weighing in at 2/5oz (12g), this lipless crankbait features a distinctive fine-mesh scale pattern across the upper half and bold, vertical black striping along the flanks. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) and cataloged under product code 7841, the lure is fitted with two silver treble hooks and a small molded dorsal fin. The original finish remains in 5/5 condition, preserving the vivid contrast of the crawdad-mimicking colors. Engineered in the USA to house a chamber of loud rattles, its construction favors long-distance casting and a quick sink for reaching fish holding deep or near wintering holes. The top-mounted line tie is positioned to facilitate both a horizontal retrieve and a vertical jigging presentation, while the tight wobbling action is a signature of its design.
