Dressed in a deep, translucent RTL6 Lectric Red, this lipless crankbait immediately catches the eye with its intricate internal scale detailing and dark shadowy spine. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), the Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap has long been a staple for covering water, relying on the internal rattles that made the Lufkin, Texas, company famous. This specific 2 1/4" (6 cm) model, identified by product code 7835, features a striking contrast between the vibrant red body and the silver-and-black head patterns. The silver-finished treble hooks and split rings are exceptionally clean, complementing the crisp line tie positioned atop the lure's flat head. Those gold-toned eyes provide a lifelike focus point against the dark detailing of the gill plates. The finish across the entire body is in beautiful shape, showing no signs of use, which earns this specimen a 5/5 condition rating. Designed to sink quickly, it remains a go-to choice for anglers targeting bass or striped bass in deep cover or stained water conditions.
