Museum Archive: Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap TT-W4, 3/16oz Fire Tiger TT W4 fishing lure #7798

A vibrant Fire Tiger TT W4 pattern covers the 1 3/4" (4.5cm) body of this vintage specimen. This 3/16oz (5g) lipless crankbait is presented in its original yellow-tinted plastic box, complete with the charming Bill Lewis Lures cartoon fisherman illustration on the insert. The colorway transitions from a deep forest green on the spine to a bright yellow flank and a warm orange belly, punctuated by irregular black spots. Since the condition is rated 6, the lure is unused and displays a high-gloss finish with no visible wear on the paint or the two silver treble hooks. Manufactured in the USA, the packaging bears the product code TT-W4 on the back label. This specific version of the Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap is designed for casting or vertical jigging presentations when targeting species in varied water conditions. The internal rattling mechanism is a hallmark of this model, intended to provide auditory cues during retrieval.
