Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits are crankbaits that dive quickly to a predetermined depth and stay in the “strike zone” for longer periods of time compared to other crankbaits on the market. These crankbaits are made from the top 7% of balsa wood, which provides consistent quality. The internal weights, tapered fuselage, and thin tail design of the lure create a unique and effective crankbait action that is only found in the DT family of lures. The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip helps the bait dive quickly to the desired depth.
The DT crankbaits have a side-to-side swimming action that is typical of balsa wood crankbaits. They can dive deep while still being easy to pull. The lures are perfectly weighted to rest in a nose-down position, allowing for a quick descent to the desired depth. They can be cast up to 150 feet, which means they can cover more water and increase the chances of catching fish. The internal baritone rattle is tuned for optimal sound performance.
The DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits come in various finishes with 3D holographic or painted eyes. They also feature premium VMC SureSet tail hooks and black nickel belly hooks. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure that it swims perfectly right out of the box.
The Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits with Custom Ink Colors by Mike Iaconelli are a special series of lures that reflect the personal touch of bass angler Mike “Ike” Iaconelli. These lures have three key characteristics. First, they have purposely muted colors, which Iaconelli achieved by exposing them to sunlight. These subtler colors can be highly effective when bass are not responding to conventional patterns. Second, Iaconelli had Rapala polish the finishes to create a natural, pearly look, such as the translucent candy apple red finish reminiscent of a '57 Chevy. Finally, Iaconelli added super fine glitter to give the lures depth and sparkle. These unique colors and finishes make Ike's Custom Ink DT's stand out and attract more fish.
