Gleaming silver sides beneath a vibrant blue back immediately catch the eye on this RTW1 color pattern specimen. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 3 in (7.5 cm), this Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap (Product Code 8648) features classic vertical black stripes and a distinct red accent at the chin. The chrome finish on this USA-made lure remains remarkably bright, reflecting its clean 5/5 condition. Anglers often rely on the internal extra-loud rattles and the tight wobbling action of this model to call fish in from a distance, whether casting across flats or jigging vertically over deep structure. The hardware consists of two original-style treble hooks mounted on clean split rings. This lipless crankbait’s profile is a staple for targeting bass and even striped bass or redfish in coastal waters.
