The Rapala DT08 Dives-To Crankbait lures are renowned for their exceptional fast diving ability and ability to stay in the “strike zone” for prolonged periods. These crankbaits are crafted from premium balsa wood, which guarantees consistent performance and durability. The design incorporates internal weights, a tapered fuselage, and a thin tail which collaborates to deliver an unrivaled crankbait action unique to the DT family. The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip allows the bait to swiftly reach the desired depth, while the classic balsa side-to-side action entices predators. They are meticulously balanced to sit nose-down, enabling them to dive quickly upon entry. The lures boast an impressive castability, which can achieve distances of up to 150 feet, ensuring that the bait spends maximum time in the strike zone, therefore increasing your catch rate. These crankbaits come equipped with an internal baritone rattle that is fine-tuned for superior sound production and come in a variety of finishes with either 3D holographic or painted eyes. The lures are also fitted with premium VMC SureSet tail hooks and black nickel belly hooks for optimal sharpness and durability. Each lure has been hand-tuned and tank-tested for assured perfection straight from the packaging.
