The Rapala DT08 Dives-To crankbait lures are designed to dive quickly to a specific depth and stay in the strike zone for a longer period of time compared to other crankbaits in the market. These lures are made from the top seven percent of balsa wood, ensuring consistent quality. The internal weights, tapered fuselage, and thin tail design work together to create the ultimate crankbait action, which is unique to the DT family. The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip helps the lure dive down rapidly to the desired depth. The side-to-side swimming motion of the DT cranks is achieved due to the nature of balsa crankbaits. This lure can dive deep while being easy to pull.
The DT08 is perfectly weighted to rest in a nose-down position, enabling it to quickly descend to the desired depth. It can be cast up to 150 feet, allowing it to cover more water and increase the chances of catching more fish. The DT08 comes in various finishes, including 3D holographic or painted eyes, and is equipped with a premium VMC SureSet tail hook and black nickel belly hook. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure it swims perfectly right out of the box.
The Rapala DT06 Dives-To Crankbaits with Custom Ink Colors by Mike Iaconelli are a special series of lures that showcase the artistic touch of bass angler Mike “Ike” Iaconelli. These lures have three defining characteristics. Firstly, they have purposely muted colors, which Ike achieved by exposing them to the sun on his truck's dashboard. These subtle colors can be highly effective when bass are not responding to conventional patterns. Secondly, the finishes are polished to give a natural, pearly appearance, such as the translucent candy apple red reminiscent of a 57 Chevy. Finally, Ike added super fine glitter to create depth in the lure's appearance. The aim of Ike's Custom Ink DT's is to use something different and unique to catch more fish.
