Quickly learn the legend of the Rat-L-Trap that originates on Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend. MDJ shareswhat equipment/tackle he uses to fish these awesome lipless crankbaits, including: rods, reels, line and switching out hooks. The Rat-L-Trap is infamous for being idiot-proof, in fact, their 1980's television commercials were focused on how easy it was to catch bass with this bait. Many anglers have experienced this no-brainer success employing a steady retrieve and triggering strikes from active bass. Daniels Jr. goes further in depth and discusses 4 other retrieves that make the Rat-L-Trap far more deadly than always employing the "chunk & wind" approach.
