Gold-scaled texturing wraps the sides of this 3" (7.5 cm) lipless crankbait, showcasing the RT68 Wild Shiner finish. This Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap UV, cataloged as product code 7615, features a dark olive and black gradient across the back that meets a high-contrast orange underside. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), its dense construction allows it to sink quickly for covering deep structures or wintering holes. The internal rattle chamber produces a distinct acoustic signature that is a hallmark of the Rat-L-Trap line, designed to be heard through the water column even in stained conditions. When viewed under UV light, the finish reveals a glow specifically intended to trigger strikes in low-visibility environments. This particular specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean surface on its metallic finish and original treble hooks. The classic profile and the large, dark strike-point eye reflect its long-standing history as a staple in American tackle boxes.
