Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits are specially designed to dive quickly to a specific depth and stay in the “strike zone” longer than other crankbaits. These lures are made from high-quality balsa wood, with carefully placed weights, a tapered body, and a thin tail. This unique combination creates a superior crankbait action that can only be found in the DT family. The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip allows the lure to dive quickly to the desired depth. The DT cranks have a side-to-side swimming action that can only be achieved with balsa wood, allowing them to dive deep while still being easy to pull. The lures are perfectly weighted to rest in a nose-down position, allowing for an immediate descent to the desired depth. With a casting range of up to 150 feet, the farther the cast, the more time the lure spends in the strike zone, making it an effective way to cover more water and catch more fish. The lures also feature an internal baritone rattle for optimal sound performance. They come in a range of premium finishes, with 3D holographic or painted eyes, and are equipped with premium VMC SureSet tail hooks and black nickel belly hooks. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure perfect swimming right out of the box.
Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits with Custom Ink Colors by Mike Iaconelli are a special series of lures that showcase the personal touch of professional bass angler Mike “Ike” Iaconelli. These lures have three key features that reflect Ike's personal style. Firstly, they come in purposefully muted colors. Ike used to expose them to the sun on his truck's dashboard to achieve a lifelike and muted skin tone. These subtle colors can be incredibly effective when bass are not responding to conventional patterns. Secondly, Ike requested that Rapala polish the finishes of the lures, giving them a natural, pearly appearance, similar to the translucent candy apple red on a '57 Chevy. And finally, Ike added super fine glitter to the lures, which adds depth to their overall appearance. Ike believes that using something different and unique is the key to catching more fish, and his Custom Ink DT's embody that philosophy. The lures are available in a variety of Mike Iaconelli's custom ink colors, including Blue Back Herring, Caribbean Shad, Demon, Disco Shad, Mardi Gras, Old School, Penguin, and Smash.
