Rapala DT08 Dives-To Crankbaits are known for their ability to dive quickly to a specific depth and stay in the “strike zone” longer than any other crankbait on the market. These lures are made from high-quality balsa wood, with carefully placed internal weights, tapered fuselage, and a thin tail design that produce the ultimate crankbait action found only in the DT family.
The DT08 features an ultra-thin polycarbonate lip that helps it dive down rapidly to the desired depth. Its side-to-side swimming action, which is unique to balsa crankbaits, allows the DT to dive deep while maintaining an effortless pull. The lure is perfectly weighted to rest in a “quick-dive” nose-down position, enabling it to descend immediately to the desired depth. As a result, the DT can be cast up to 150 feet, keeping the bait in the strike zone for a longer period of time.
To enhance its performance, the DT08 is equipped with an internal baritone rattler that produces optimal sound. It also comes in a variety of premiere finishes with 3D holographic or painted eyes. Additionally, each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure perfect swimming action right out of the box. The DT08 is further equipped with a premium VMC SureSet tail hook and black nickel belly hook.
For those looking for a more customized option, Rapala offers the DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits with Custom Ink Colors by Mike Iaconelli. These lures feature the personal touch of professional bass angler Mike “Ike” Iaconelli. Ike's custom designs are characterized by purposefully muted colors, polished finishes for a natural appearance, and super fine glitter that adds depth to the lure's overall look. Ike believes in using something different and unique to catch more fish, and his Custom Ink DT's offer just that.
The Rapala DT08 Dives-To Crankbait Lures are a top choice for anglers who want a versatile and effective bait that can reach depths quickly and stay in the strike zone for extended periods of time.
