The Rapala DT08 Dives-To Crankbaits are designed to dive quickly to a specific depth and remain in the “strike zone” for longer than other crankbaits on the market. These lures are made from the highest quality balsa wood, with internal weights, a tapered fuselage, and a thin tail design that create a realistic and effective crankbait action.
The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip allows the bait to dive down rapidly to the desired depth. The side-to-side swimming action of the DT crankbaits is unique to balsa wood lures and provides a realistic presentation. Despite diving deep, these lures are easy to reel in.
The DT08 is perfectly weighted to rest in a nose-down position, allowing for an immediate descent to the desired depth. It can be cast up to 150 feet, meaning it covers more water and stays in the strike zone for longer. This makes it an incredibly effective tool for catching fish.
The internal baritone rattle is tuned for optimal sound performance, attracting fish with its realistic noise. The lures come in a variety of finishes, including 3D holographic or painted eyes, and are equipped with premium VMC SureSet tail hooks and black nickel belly hooks.
Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure it swims perfectly right out of the box, giving anglers confidence in its performance. Additionally, there is a special series of DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits with custom colors by Mike Iaconelli, a renowned bass angler. These lures feature muted colors, polished finishes, and super fine glitter for added depth and appeal.
Mike Iaconelli's Custom Ink DT's offer something different and unique to catch more fish. The colors include Blue Back Herring, Caribbean Shad, Demon, Disco Shad, Mardi Gras, Old School, Penguin, and Smash.
