The Rapala DT16 RTBC Rootbeer Crawdad is a crankbait lure that is designed to dive quickly to a specific depth and stay in the “strike zone” for longer than other crankbaits on the market. It is made from high-quality balsa wood, with only the top seven percent of the wood being used. The careful placement of internal weights, along with the tapered fuselage and thin tail design, creates a unique and effective crankbait action that is only found in the DT family.
The lure features an ultra-thin polycarbonate lip that helps it quickly reach the desired depth when swimming. It has a side-to-side action that is characteristic of balsa crankbaits, allowing it to dive deep while still being easy to retrieve. The DT16 is perfectly weighted to rest in a “quick-dive” nose down position, which enables it to descend to the desired depth immediately after casting. It can be cast up to 150 feet, allowing for a large coverage area and maximizing the time the lure spends in the strike zone. This makes it a highly effective tool for covering more water and catching more fish.
The DT16 is also equipped with an internal baritone rattle that is tuned for optimal sound performance. It comes in a range of premium finishes, featuring 3D holographic or painted eyes. The lure is equipped with a high-quality VMC SureSet tail hook and a black nickel belly hook. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure it swims perfectly right out of the box.
