fish trap fishing lures Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap Lipless Crankbait – Tackle Express catching success of the legendary Bill Lewis Rat Hammer Trap

While traditional squarebills are among my favorites, like the Bill Lewis SB-57 and Bandit 100, flat-sided baits that dive a little deeper hold a special place in my tackle box during October

So grab your fins, pack light, and paddle your way into water most anglers only dream of

But we dont recommend pouring untreated water directly into your tank

My favourite tactic is to pull up to smallmouth structure (i.e Islands, humps etc) and start throwing a un-weighted senko

Both will work for catching numbers of channel catfish but Ive always preferred punch baits as theyre much cleaner to fish with and eliminate the need for using the tubes, sponges, and worms to hold bait

We talked about the Hardy Perfect and a bunch of other contemporary and classic reels that influenced his designs
