Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits are a popular choice for anglers looking for a crankbait that dives fast and stays in the “strike zone” longer than other options. These crankbaits are made from high-quality balsa wood, with only the top seven percent being used. The wood is carefully crafted and combined with internal weights, a tapered fuselage, and a thin tail design to create a superior crankbait action that can only be found in the DT family.
The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip on these crankbaits allows them to quickly dive to the desired depth, while the side-to-side swimming action is a characteristic that only balsa crankbaits can achieve. This combination of features allows the DT cranks to dive deep but still be easy to retrieve.
One of the unique features of these crankbaits is their weight distribution, which allows them to rest in a “quick-dive” nose down position. This means that they can quickly reach the desired depth as soon as they are cast. In fact, these crankbaits can be easily cast up to 150 feet, allowing anglers to cover more water and increase their chances of catching fish.
The Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits come in a range of finishes, including 3D holographic or painted eyes. They also feature premium VMC SureSet tail hooks and black nickel belly hooks. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure that it swims perfectly right out of the box.
In addition to the standard color options, there is also a series of DT06 crankbaits with custom ink colors by Mike Iaconelli, a well-known bass angler. These custom colors were carefully chosen by Iaconelli and have three key traits. First, they have purposefully muted colors, which can be incredibly effective when bass are not responding to more conventional patterns. Second, the finishes of these crankbaits are polished to create a natural, pearly appearance, similar to a translucent candy apple red on a '57 Chevy. And finally, these custom crankbaits have super fine glitter sprinkles that add depth to their appearance.
Iaconelli's Custom Ink DT06 crankbaits are designed to be “something different, something unique” that will help anglers catch more fish. The available colors include Blue Back Herring, Caribbean Shad, Demon, Disco Shad, Mardi Gras, Old School, Penguin, and Smash. Whether you choose the standard options or the custom ink colors, Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits are sure to be a valuable addition to your fishing arsenal.
