The Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits are premier fishing lures renowned for their rapid diving capability and extended time in the fish's “strike zone”. The delicate balance and craftsmanship of these lures make them stand out from the competition. Built from the finest selection of balsa wood, each crankbait boasts a meticulous design that includes internal weights, a streamlined tapered fuselage, and a thin tail design. These elements collectively contribute to the exclusive swimming action that distinguishes DT series crankbaits. Their quick-dive mechanism is facilitated by an ultra-thin polycarbonate lip, ensuring they reach the angler's desired depth with ease.
The side-to-side action is particularly notable, characteristic of balsa crankbaits, enabling the lures to slice through the water effectively while remaining simple to retrieve. The engineering behind these lures ensures that they rest in a nose-down posture for an immediate dive upon cast. Their castability extends up to 150 feet, maximising the lure's presence in the strike zone, which greatly enhances the angler's chances of success. They also feature an internal baritone rattle fine-tuned for optimal auditory attraction.
Available in an array of exquisite finishes, the DT06 range includes lures with both 3D holographic features and painted eyes. They are outfitted with high-caliber VMC SureSet tail hooks and black nickel belly hooks. True to Rapala's high standards, each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to assure flawless performance upon deployment.
Mike Iaconelli‘s custom ink colors add an extra dimension to the DT06 series. These special edition colors are a work of art, reflecting Iaconelli's sophisticated approach as a seasoned bass angler. Each aspect of the custom ink colors is crafted with consideration – from the sun-baked, muted tones to the natural, pearly polish and subtle super fine glitter, these lures are designed to present an “out of the ordinary” appearance that can be particularly effective when standard patterns do not provoke bass to strike.
