I've been using clipless lately on some recreational bikes. I think I can accelerate faster with clipless because I can pull up with more force than with the "rat traps".
Wrong
The "rat traps" you are referring to are actually toe clips and straps. It is that type of metal framed pedal that is referred to as a rat trap pedal, so the picture depicts rat trap pedals with toe clips and straps
