Rat-L-Traps: Fact Or Fiction?

I've had a great deal of success with the original Rat-L-Trap. I use the same colors as Bassn Blvd mentioned in his post. I also use SK's Red Eye Shad, Spro's Aruka Shad, and occasionally the Cordell Spot also. I started out years ago with the Traps so I have used them more and have caught more fish on them than the others but I have been impressed with both Strike King's and Spro's offerings.

As for how I fish the Rat-L-Traps, it depends on the situation but burning and ripping, yo-yo'ing, and slow and steady, etc are all part of the repertoire.
