Description

Bill Lewis Mini Trap, #39 Gold Tennessee Shad Color. About 2 1/4" long and weighing 1/4oz. Box has some minor wear, lure is new in the box but does have some marks from storage. See photos. Fish or collect. Normally fished in a cast-and-crank shallow water situation, they are also effective when allowed to sink to the bottom and burned over deep structure back to the boat. With this method, just position the boat on the uphill side of a point or underwater hump and throw out as far as you can. Let the bait sink to the bottom and start the retrieve up the slope, banging into rocks and other obstructions along the way. The Rat-L-Trap is best known for ripping through shallow grass beds and surprising bad tempered bass waiting in ambush. These baits will get pounded by hungry fish however you choose to fish them. We carry a variety of fish-catching colors for any situation you are likely to encounter. Today the Rat-L-Trap brand is the number 1 selling brand of hard-baits. W ith over 350 size and color combinations, The Rat-L-Trap is the undisputed king of lipless crankbaits. See all of our Bill Lewis lures for sale here .

Field Notes

Fish it as a cast-and-crank lipless crankbait in shallow water, then let it sink and retrieve upward over points or underwater humps. Bang it through rocks/obstructions during the retrieve to trigger reaction strikes from ambush predators.

Pros

  • Lipless crankbait action suited for shallow cast-and-crank
  • Can be fished by letting it sink to bottom then retrieving up structure
  • Effective over points/humps and around obstructions

Cons

  • Requires accurate retrieve over structure to maximize bottom-banging effect
