A vibrant Toledo Gold (RT 521) finish defines this Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, showcasing the detailed black scale printing and orange-to-gold gradient typical of this classic pattern. With a weight of 2/5 oz (12 g) and a length of 2 1/4" (6 cm), this specimen carries product code 8481 and was manufactured in the USA. The lure is found in unused 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean finish and bright hardware. Its functionality is anchored by the signature loud rattle system, a pioneering design intended to provoke strikes from neutral fish by emitting sound waves that travel effectively through the water column. The sinking body allows for versatile applications, including long-distance casting or vertical jigging in deep wintering holes where predatory fish congregate.
