Classic Lures: Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap

By A Mystery Man Writer

Bill Lewis introduced rattling sound into fishing lures over 50 years ago. Many will argue that it is one of the best lures ever made. In fact, Outdoor Life magazine referred to Rattle Trap? as the Most Influential Fishing Lure of all time in their Hall of Fame fishing lure article. This lure produces sound that is nearly identical to the sound made by distressed baitfish, which leads to attracting predator fish and stimulating an aggressive feeding response.

Loud, flashy attention getters, Rattletraps can be fished in a variety of situations from shallow to deep and everything in between. 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.
