Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits are crankbaits that dive quickly to a specific depth and stay in the “strike zone” longer than any other crankbait on the market. These lures are made from high-quality balsa wood, specifically the top seven percent, and the perfect wood combined with strategically placed internal weights, tapered fuselage, and a thin tail design creates an exceptional crankbait action that can only be found in the DT family of lures. The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip allows the bait to dive rapidly to the desired depth, and the side-to-side swimming motion that balsa crankbaits are known for is achieved effortlessly by the DT. Furthermore, it is perfectly weighted to rest in a nose-down position, ensuring an immediate descent to the desired depth. These features allow the DT to be cast up to 150 feet, enabling it to stay in the strike zone for a longer period. This makes it a highly effective tool for covering more water and catching more fish. Additionally, the DT06 comes equipped with an internal baritone rattle that produces optimal sound performance. The lure is available in various finishes, including 3D holographic or painted eyes, and is equipped with premium VMC SureSet tail hooks and black nickel belly hooks. Each lure is individually hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure perfect swimming action right out of the box. The Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits with Custom Ink Colors by Mike Iaconelli are part of a series of masterful lures showcasing the personal touch of bass angler Mike “Ike” Iaconelli. Ike's custom ink lures possess three distinctive traits. Firstly, they feature intentionally muted colors. These subtler hues can be incredibly effective when bass are not responding to conventional patterns. Secondly, Ike had Rapala give the finishes a polished look, such as the translucent candy apple red reminiscent of a '57 Chevy, providing a natural, pearly finish. Lastly, Ike incorporated super sparkly glitter into the design. However, this is not just any glitter; it is super fine, which adds depth to the lure's appearance. Ike's secret lies in using something different and unique to catch more fish. The Mike Iaconelli Custom Ink DT lures embody all these qualities and more. They are designed to exhibit a quick-dive resting position, have an extra thin polycarbonate lip, and possess perfect balance. With their long casting distance of up to 150 feet and thin tail design, these lures are built to perform. The DT06 also features an internal rattle chamber, VMC SureSet tail hooks, VMC black nickel belly hooks, and is constructed from balsa wood. Each lure is meticulously hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure optimum swimming action. The Mike Iaconelli Custom Ink Colors are available in Blue Back Herring, Caribbean Shad, Demon, Disco Shad, Mardi Gras, Old School, Penguin, and Smash.
