Rat-L-Trap Magnum-Trap
Large lures catch large fish. Great for close offshore and deeper inland bays. The 3/4 oz. will catch kings, spanish mackerel, redfish, bluefish, barracuda, dolphin, stripers and many other saltwater species.

Can’t go wrong with a Rat-L-Trap
May 9, 2022
Pretty sure this lure is well proven. True the paint doesn’t hold up the best in salt water, toothy fish environment, but it does produce fish. This is probably the lure all lures should be measured against. There are salt water versions that may hold up better, but I am okay with paint pealing as long as it keeps producing.
Pros
  • Easy to use
  • Long cast
  • Consistent results
Cons
  • Paint does wear quickly when used in salt after with toothy fish.

Larger version of the original

Great lure for larger species of fish, yet has the same original successful action that comes with all rat L traps in the series

Why does it work so well...
April 27, 2015
I have the chrome and blue back and this thing kills spanish mackerel and ribbonfish. Not sure why it works so well but I'm not complaining. I did coat it in 2 ton epoxy to preserve the finish, and it seems to work!
Pros
  • Tried and true lure
  • Works great salt and freshwater
Cons
  • Keep the hooks dry or they'll rust
  • Hooks and rings aren't super tough, so take care
