Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits are designed to dive quickly to a specific depth and stay in the “strike zone” longer than any other crankbait. These lures are made from high-quality balsa wood and feature internal weights, a tapered fuselage, and a thin tail design, all of which create a realistic and effective crankbait action. The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip allows the bait to dive rapidly to the desired depth. The DT06 also has a side-to-side swimming action that is unique to balsa wood crankbaits, making it an effective lure for deep fishing. The lure is perfectly weighted to rest in a “quick-dive” nose down position, allowing for immediate descent to the desired depth. It can be easily cast up to 150 feet, ensuring that it stays in the strike zone for a longer period of time. The DT06 features an internal baritone rattle that produces a sound that attracts fish. It also comes in a variety of premium finishes, with 3D holographic or painted eyes. The lure is equipped with a VMC SureSet tail hook and a black nickel belly hook. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure its swimming performance right out of the box.
Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits with Custom Ink Colors by Mike Iaconelli are a special series of lures that have been personalized by professional bass angler Mike “Ike” Iaconelli. These lures feature three key traits that make them unique. First, they have purposefully muted colors. Iaconelli used to expose them to sunlight on his truck's dashboard to achieve a lifelike, muted skin tone. These subtle colors can be highly effective when bass are not responding to conventional patterns. Second, Iaconelli had Rapala polish the finishes, resulting in a natural, pearly appearance, like translucent candy apple red on a '57 Chevy. And finally, Iaconelli added super fine glitter to give the lures depth and sparkle. These unique features make Ike's Custom Ink DT's stand out and attract more fish.
Some of the custom ink colors created by Mike Iaconelli include Blue Back Herring, Caribbean Shad, Demon, Disco Shad, Mardi Gras, Old School, Penguin, and Smash.
