Museum Archive: Bill Lewis Tiny-Trap 3816, 3/16oz fishing lure #3816

Weighing in at 3/16 oz (5.5 g), this compact lipless crankbait represents the downsized versatility of the Bill Lewis lineup. The lure measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and remains in unused condition, still housed in its original clear plastic collector's box. Its finish features a silver-grey base with distinct dark horizontal stripes and a subtle orange highlight near the gill plate, mimicking a small baitfish. This 'Rattle' type specimen utilizes internal beads for sound rather than a diving lip, making it a staple for anglers targeting perch, zander, and pike. Identified by product code 3816 on its vintage price label, this USA-made lure retains its original factory hooks and bright finish. The back of the packaging includes the Bill Lewis Lures branding and the TT-37 barcode sticker.
