Rapala Dives To Crankbait Lures – DT16 BBH Blue Back Herring

The DT (Dives-To) series of crankbaits are designed to quickly dive to a specific depth and stay in the strike zone longer than any other crankbait available. These lures are made from the highest quality balsa wood, with only the top seven percent being used. This superior wood, combined with strategically placed internal weights, a tapered fuselage, and a thin tail design, creates the ultimate crankbait action that is unique to the DT family.

The DT crankbaits feature an ultra-thin polycarbonate lip that allows them to quickly dive to the desired depth. They also have a side-to-side swimming action that is characteristic of balsa wood crankbaits. Despite their ability to dive deeply, the DT lures are easy to reel in. They are perfectly weighted to rest in a nose down position, which facilitates their quick descent to the desired depth. In fact, they can be cast up to 150 feet, allowing for extensive coverage of the water and increased chances of catching fish.

In addition to their excellent performance in the water, the DT crankbaits also feature an internal baritone rattle that produces an optimal sound to attract fish. They come in a range of attractive finishes, including those with 3D holographic or painted eyes. Each lure is equipped with premium VMC SureSet tail hooks and black nickel belly hooks. Moreover, every lure is meticulously hand-tuned and tested in a tank to ensure it swims perfectly as soon as it is taken out of the box.
