Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits are crankbaits that dive quickly to a specific depth and stay in the “strike zone” longer than other crankbaits on the market. They are made from high-quality balsa wood and have internal weights, a tapered body, and a thin tail design that create a unique and effective crankbait action. The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip helps the bait dive quickly to the desired depth. These crankbaits have a side-to-side swimming action that only balsa crankbaits can achieve and they can dive deep while still being easy to retrieve. The weight distribution of the bait allows it to rest in a nose-down position, which helps it descend immediately. With a cast of up to 150 feet, these crankbaits cover a large area and stay in the strike zone for a longer time, increasing the chances of catching fish. They also have an internal rattle that produces a sound to attract fish. The finishes of these crankbaits are available in different color patterns, with options of 3D holographic or painted eyes. They come with premium VMC SureSet tail hooks and black nickel belly hooks. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure it swims perfectly 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 bass angler Mike “Ike” Iaconelli. These lures have three key features that set them apart. Firstly, they have purposely muted colors, which were achieved by leaving them exposed to sunlight on Ike's truck dashboard. These subtle colors can be extremely effective when bass are not responding to traditional patterns. Secondly, the finishes of these lures are polished to create a natural, pearly look, reminiscent of a candy apple red on a '57 Chevy. Lastly, these lures have a super sparkly finish with fine glitter that adds depth to their appearance. Ike's strategy is to use something different and unique to catch more fish, and these custom ink colors certainly offer that. The available colors in the Mike Iaconelli Custom Ink series include Blue Back Herring, Caribbean Shad, Demon, Disco Shad, Mardi Gras, Old School, Penguin and Smash.
