GetBent Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Anyone tried the new crankbait by Bill Lewis maker of the famous rattl-trap. They come with mustad triple grip hooks. I hope my local options will have them if not I will have to pay off my current tackle warehouse debt. They don't look like a magical new crankbait but the fact that they make the rattltrap and come with great hooks I might buy a few. Quote
Slefler Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I love them. They have a wide wiggle and come through grass excellent. I wouldn't throw it in colder water temps because of the wide wiggle but from now until early winter i think it would be great. Here right now it would be perfect with the shad spawn. Quote

I threw it on the Wisconsin opener last year, I believe water temps in the mid to upper 50's and it got more bites and fish than a jerkbait did, for you guys with a longer season that may not be all that cold. Only thing I didn't like was it wasn't the most stable Crankbait and perhaps I needed to tune it. I didn't because it was really catching them and I didn't want to screw the action Quote
SwampLife Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 I bought some last year to me they don't run as deep as the bandits or kvds i may need to down size my line size Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 1, 2016 Global Moderator Posted May 1, 2016 They do run a little shallower and have a very wide wobble, along with that distinct Rat-L-Trap sound. I have yet to catch a bass on one, but I did have this train wreck happen on one. 2 Quote
GetBent Posted May 1, 2016 Author Posted May 1, 2016 Found them at a local shop. They didn't have the one color I wanted the most but I got several good ones. If they do well for me I will make an order to TW. Now I just gotta get on the water. Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted May 1, 2016 Super User Posted May 1, 2016 Have a few of them. They do run a bit shallower then the KVD squarebills do but do have a nice action. Quote

I got out on our opener yesterday and we had 53 degree water temps and in the little bit I got to fish it, a girthy 16" fish got both of the trebles in the mouth when she took it, I don't see that very often. Three casts later I bounced it off the console windshield and broke the bill, one of the drawbacks of fishing out of a small boat. 1 Quote
Cranks4fun Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 Just bought one yesterday. They have an interesting flat-but-fat body style. Looking forward to getting it wet. They come with great hooks and awesome colors and they are very LOUD rattling cranks. I got the "Sunrise Perch" color. Looks cool! Quote
