Bill Lewis Rat L'Trap

Bill Lewis designed the Rat-L-Trap, a classic crankbait. Lewis was born in Laurel Mississippi. He created this lure when he noticed that it wasn't producing much reactionary strikes from fish. Lewis added a lead BB sized gun to the lure's cavity in order to correct this problem. The shot was placed inside the lure's compartment to create a counterbalance. It will make the lure look like a wounded baifish. The result was a deadly combo of sound and action for catching the fish you want to catch.

The Rat-L Trap is a great tool to attract big fish in any situation. The Rat-L-Trap is able to cover large areas of water, no matter how calm or turbulent the water. Slow retrieves, or a YoYo catch are ideal for deep water fishing. This lure can also be used to crawl across winter grass beds and deeper staging zones.

How To

How to Perfectly Cast a Fishing Rod

When casting a fishing rod, the first thing to do is use your wrist to pull the handle towards the water. The rod should be held slightly away from the body so that it is parallel to the ground. Keep the rod's tip parallel to the water when you move it forward. The fish will not bite if the tip touches the water's surface prior to the line reaching the bottom. You can increase the distance between the tip of the rod and the surface of the water by practicing this technique.

These tips will help you feel more comfortable casting a fishing rod.

To begin, keep the rod as close to you chest as possible. This way, you can easily control the rod's direction without bending down.

If you are casting a large rod, it is a good idea to put a tripod on the shoreline. This will allow you to secure the rod while still holding the reel.

You might also consider purchasing a small reel rather than an expensive one. A cheap spinning reel can be used to cast longer distances, and it will also help you with your hand-eye coordination.

A fourth option is to purchase a fishing rod holder. These holders hold the rod securely and keep it upright. They're easy to store away after use and protect the rod from getting damaged.

Fifth, practice your casting technique until you feel comfortable with the motion. Casting a fishing pole takes practice.

Sixth, patience is the key to successful fishing. You must wait for the right moment to strike and then fight hard to bring the fish in.
