Rapala Dives To Crankbait Lure – DT16 CTSD Citrus Shad

The DT (Dives-To) series of crankbaits is known for their ability to dive quickly to a specific depth and remain in the “strike zone” for a longer period of time compared to other crankbaits available in the market. These lures are made from the finest quality balsa wood, with only the top seven percent of the wood being selected. The combination of this consistently perfect wood, strategically placed internal weights, tapered body shape, and slim tail design produces an exceptional crankbait action that can only be found in the DT family.

The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip enables the lure to dive rapidly to the desired depth. The side-to-side swimming action, unique to balsa crankbaits, allows the DT to dive deep while maintaining an effortless retrieve. The lure is perfectly balanced, resting in a “quick-dive” nose down position, which facilitates immediate descent to the desired depth. With this design, the DT can be cast up to 150 feet, maximizing the time spent in the strike zone. This makes it an effective tool for covering more water and increasing your chances of catching fish.

The internal baritone rattle is specifically tuned to produce the best sound performance, further enhancing its attraction to fish. The lure is available in a range of premium finishes, featuring 3D holographic or painted eyes, and is equipped with a high-quality VMC SureSet tail hook and a black nickel belly hook. Each lure undergoes hand-tuning and tank-testing to ensure optimal swimming action right out of the box.
