The Rapala DT08 Dives-To Crankbait is a high-quality lure designed to dive quickly to a specific depth and stay in the “strike zone” for a longer period of time compared to other crankbaits on the market. This lure is made from the top seven percent of balsa wood, ensuring consistent quality. It also features carefully placed internal weights, a tapered fuselage, and a thin tail design, all of which contribute to its exceptional action in the water.
The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip of the DT08 enables it to dive rapidly to the desired depth. Its side-to-side swimming action is unique to balsa crankbaits and adds to its effectiveness. The lure is perfectly weighted to rest in a nose-down position, allowing for immediate descent to the desired depth. With its long casting distance of up to 150 feet, the DT08 covers more water and increases the chances of catching fish.
The DT08 comes in various attractive color patterns, featuring 3D holographic or painted eyes. It is equipped with a premium VMC SureSet tail hook and a black nickel belly hook. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure optimal swimming performance right out of the box. Additionally, the DT08 has an internal baritone rattle that produces a sound designed to attract fish.
The Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits, part of the Mike Iaconelli Custom Ink series, are a collection of lures designed by professional bass angler Mike “Ike” Iaconelli. These lures exhibit Iaconelli's personal touch, which includes three key features. First, the colors are intentionally muted to mimic natural tones. Second, the finishes are polished to create a pearly effect, reminiscent of a candy apple red on a vintage car. Third, fine glitter is used to add depth and visual appeal to the lure.
The Custom Ink DT lures provide anglers with a unique option that can be extremely effective when bass are not responding to conventional patterns. Their high-quality construction and attention to detail make them a reliable choice for all types of fishing. 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.
