Default Rat-l Trap question

I lost my favorite rat-l trap this weekend and was looking to replace it. Only problem is, I can't find the exact one. It was a RT-27 Orange Craw, but when I tried to look it up online in all the stores, the color is wrong. The one I had was orange (first pic) and the ones I'm finding are reddish/orange (second pic). Does anyone know if this a discontinued model? Does anyone know where I can get another one?

I believe it's kind of like cars. Paint colors and schemes change over the years. I don't see why that one won't work though...

Hef, here is one my favorite sites for hard to find baits. Brannan's down in Texas

I believe they have it. If not, call Kathy (contact number in website) and she will get it for you.

Ivan,

What does the #29 craw look like? I have some old discontinued models, you got a pic or something similiar and I'll look around.

Straight from the pages of Bill Lewis lures...

http://rat-l-trap.com/2007/index.php...d=46&Itemid=79

Try this, Hef.

I checked and they still show the RT-27 as one of the colors being produced.

Ivan, they still make the RT820 also.

Bob,

I did look there, but all I could find on their site was "clearance" Rat-l traps and that one isn't listed.

How strange, I guess she doesn't have them in stock. If I were the one looking for them, I would give her a call (I've done this many times in the past). Kathy will go out of her way to find them for you.

Speaking of trap baits, while on the Detroit River today, I found a small Cordell Super Spot hidden away in some bushes. It's 1/2 ounce I believe and a type of 'firetiger' color. Just thought I'd share...
