Lipless crankbaits are well known and justly famous for their ability to cover a lot of water quickly and to produce fish. Rattletrap is one the best known lipless crankbaits. Loud, flashy attention getters, Rattletraps can be fished in a variety of situations from shallow to deep and everything in between.
