Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits are crankbaits that dive quickly to a preset depth and stay in the “strike zone” for a longer period of time compared to other crankbaits. These crankbaits are made from the top seven percent of balsa wood, combined with carefully placed internal weights, a tapered fuselage, and a thin tail design. This combination creates the ultimate crankbait action, which can only be found in the DT family of lures. The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip allows the bait to dive quickly to the desired depth. The DT cranks have a side-to-side swimming action that is characteristic of balsa crankbaits, enabling them to dive deep with ease. The lures are perfectly weighted to rest in a “quick-dive” nose-down position, which allows for an immediate descent to the desired depth. They can be cast up to 150 feet, meaning they can cover more water and increase your chances of catching more fish. The internal baritone rattle is designed for optimal sound performance. The lures come in premiere finishes and feature 3D holographic or painted eyes. 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 series of lures that showcase the personal touch of bass angler Mike “Ike” Iaconelli. These lures have three key traits that set them apart. First, they have purposefully muted colors, inspired by Ike's practice of “baking them in the sun” on his truck's dashboard to achieve a life-like, muted skin tone. These subtler colors can be highly effective when bass are not responding to conventional patterns. Second, Rapala polished the finishes of these lures to give them a natural, pearly finish, reminiscent of translucent candy apple red on a â€57 Chevy. Finally, Ike added super fine glitter to the lures to add depth to their appearance. Using something different and unique is one of Ike's secrets to catching more fish, and his Custom Ink DT's embody this approach. They have a quick-dive resting position, an extra thin polycarbonate lip, and a perfect balance. The lures also come with VMC SureSet tail hooks and VMC black nickel belly hooks. They are constructed from balsa wood and feature muted body colors, a translucent pearly finish, and super fine glitter. The Mike Iaconelli Custom Ink Colors for these lures include Blue Back Herring, Caribbean Shad, Demon, Disco Shad, Mardi Gras, Old School, Penguin, and Smash.
