Bill Lewis Knock-N Trap 1/2 Gold Black Back
The Bill Lewis Knock-N Trap 1/2 Gold Black Back is a lipless crankbait built for anglers who want something different than the standard vibrating plug. Where most search-and-destroy crankbaits rattle, this one knocks—a low-frequency percussion that cuts through noise and vegetation to trigger bites on flats, deep water, and everything in between. The distinctive knocking sound comes from a hard-driving internal knocker that produces a drum-like cadence, demanding attention from bass in murky conditions or when they're locked in tight to structure.
Built tough for repeated casting and handling, the Knock-N Trap pairs that signature knock with a highly energized wiggling action. Whether you're ripping it through grass or working it vertically in deeper zones, the bait's profile and movement stay consistent, keeping the acoustic signature and flash working together. It's rigged with two Mustad Triple Grip Trebles, so you've got solid hook coverage when strikes come—and with a lure this aggressive, they will.
At 1/2 ounce with a gold and black finish, this is a versatile size for both shallow and moderate depths. The gold back reflects light effectively in stained or low-light water, while the black sides provide contrast. If you fish tournaments or just want to move bass that ignore your standard crankbaits, the Knock-N Trap's unique tonal character and action make it worth tying on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Knock-N Trap different from a regular Rat-L-Trap?
While it shares the same aggressive action as the original Rat-L-Trap, the Knock-N Trap features a hard-driving, low-frequency knocker that produces a distinctly different knocking sound—more of a drum-like beat than a traditional rattle. This unique acoustic signature triggers bites from bass that may have seen standard rattlebaits.
Can I fish this bait in grass and shallow water?
Yes. The Knock-N Trap is designed to be ripped through grass flats effectively, and its 1/2 ounce weight gives you the control needed for shallow presentations while still maintaining that knocking action and energized wiggle.
What's included with the bait?
The bait comes rigged with two Mustad Triple Grip Treble hooks, ready to fish out of the box.
Is this good for tournament fishing?
Yes. The Knock-N Trap's unique tonal signature and aggressive action are designed to provoke strikes from competitive bass, making it a solid choice when you need a bait that stands out from what others are throwing.
