Who's fishing the Bill Lewis Hammer Trap?

Featured Replies

What differences from the original (& other brands) do you notice especially in regard to running depth? Is the 5/8 model good for rippin' around/over shallow vegetation efficiently?

For anyone interested I purchased one last week and fished it for a little while yesterday morning. First thing of notice was that the 3/8oz version I bought weighs exactly 14.2 grams or a hair over 1/2oz out of the box, so someone needs to let Bill know their scale is broken, lol. KVD hooks, no need for replacement unless round bend is your preference, obviously. The name hammer trap is well deserved, it thumps harder than any trap I've ever used, I'd say almost as hard as a 1.5 squarebill, due I'm sure to the large surface area provided by the wider than average front lip area, which naturally makes it run high, great for ripping over and out of shallow vegetation. The sound is a little quieter, subtler, and slightly higher pitched than the original trap. No catches on it yet but all in all looks to be a winner, will be purchasing more in the future.
