A striking high-visibility yellow and black contrast defines the finish of this American-made specimen from the Weedless Bait Company. Tipping the scales at 1/3 oz (8.5 g), the FISHTRAP features a robust spoon-style body measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) that is built to navigate heavy vegetation. The specialized construction includes a single large hook riveted directly to the interior, protected by a tensioned metal wire weed guard that arches over the point. Rated at 4/5 for condition, the lure remains in very clean shape with only minor paint loss visible along the edges and near the rivet points. The stamped metal body retains its high-polish silver interior, designed to provide a flash against the bold painted exterior. Every component, from the line tie eyelet to the heavy-duty hook assembly, reflects the utilitarian design philosophy of mid-century weedless casting lures. This specific model, identified by product code 23225, serves as a great example of the specialized hardware developed to reach bass hiding in thick lily pads.
