The Rapala DT08 Dives-To Crankbaits are masterfully crafted to dive quickly to a predetermined depth and remain in the “strike zone” for an extended period, more so than many other crankbaits in the angling market. These lures are constructed from the highest quality balsa wood, ensuring that only the top seven percent, renowned for its buoyancy and strength, is used. This translates to enhanced consistency and durability for avid anglers. Furthermore, these crankbaits incorporate strategically positioned internal weights, a tapered fuselage, and a sleek tail design which all contribute to a distinctive crankbait action that sets the DT series apart.
The DT series is notable for its ultra-thin polycarbonate lip which empowers the lure to swiftly reach the target depth upon entry. Replicating the natural side-to-side swimming action of balsa crankbaits, the DT series executes this motion efficiently allowing for deep dives with minimal effort during retrieval. The ingeniously engineered weight distribution places these lures in a poised “quick-dive” position, facilitating a rapid descent to lure-hungry depths. The impressive casting distance of up to 150 feet with these DT crankbaits broadens the angler's reach, enhancing the opportunity to cover extensive water bodies and notably increase fish catches.
Adorned with an internal baritone rattle, each lure in the DT lineup is fine-tuned to create optimal sound performance that enraptures preying fish. The lures' finishes exude premier craftsmanship, available in a myriad of captivating color patterns, and boast features like 3D holographic or meticulously painted eyes. Coupled with this are the premium VMC SureSet tail hook and a robust black nickel belly hook, ready to secure your catch. Before leaving the factory, every lure is subject to rigorous hand-tuning and tank-testing to guarantee that perfect swimming action is delivered straight out of the box.
The Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits with Custom Ink Colors by Mike Iaconelli represent a special collaboration with the renowned bass angler Mike “Ike” Iaconelli. These lures emanate a unique charm, thanks to three distinct characteristics. Firstly, the incorporation of subtly muted colors, a tactic derived from Ike's method of naturally weathering lures on his dashboard, gives them a realistic and effective finish. Secondly, Rapala honors Ike's vision by adding a high-gloss, translucent candy apple red finish, reminiscent of a vintage car's sleek appearance. Lastly, the integrated super fine glitter within the lure's body works wonders in enhancing its visual appeal and depth, enticing bass through its shimmering allure.
Emphasizing a philosophy that revolves around utilizing distinctive, unconventional techniques to capture more fish, the Custom Ink DT's are a testament to Ike's innovative spirit. These lures not only maintain the distinguished quick-dive resting position but also the extra thin polycarbonate lip and immaculate balance inherent to the DT series. The inclusion of 3D holographic or painted eyes empowers these crankbaits with long-distance attraction capabilities. Combined with the potential of casting up to 150 feet and a slender tail design, the DT06 crankbaits position the angler to proficiently explore larger aquatic expanses. Additionally, the reliable VMC SureSet tail hook and black nickel belly hook solidify your chances of a secure catch. Crafted from balsa wood, these lures undergo the signature Rapala hand-tuning and tank-testing process to ensure they perform optimally right when you need them.
