The Rapala DT (Dives-To) series of crankbaits, dive fast to a preset depth and stay in the “strike zone” longer than any than other crankbait on the market. Made from the top seven percent of balsa wood, this consistently perfect wood combined with carefully placed internal weights, tapered fuselage and thin tail design creates the ultimate crankbait action, found only in the DT family. Ultra-thin polycarbonate lip digs the bait down quickly to desired depth. Swimming with a side-to-side action only balsa crankbaits can achieve, the DT cranks deep, yet pulls with ease. Perfectly weighted to rest in a “quick-dive” nose down position allowing for immediate descent to desired depth, the DT can be easily cast 150 feet. Simply put, the farther the cast, the longer the bait stays in the strike zone. It's the most effective way to cover more water and catch more fish. Internal baritone rattle is tuned for best sound performance. Premiere finishes in all the right color patterns, finished with 3D holographic or painted eyes. All come with premium VMC SureSet tail hook and black nickel belly hook. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to swim perfectly right out of the box.

The bait for the crankbait system
Michael Carter (Winchester, KY) 2/16/2009 1:58 PM
I like alot of other baits for certain types of cover or conditions but these are the baits I use for running a system. What I mean is I have a DT 10 and a shallow one or deeper one and sometimes as many as 3 tied on at once. I can pick up different rods and fish different structures with the different divers. The idea is great and I cant believe someone didn't think of it sooner. If you have any doubts if these catch fish just consider they are the go 2 baits of David Fritts. Who actually just one a major FLW event on one (DT10). The hooks are solid and the colors are great I think lots of options and none of them look bad. I love the bluegill color for clearer water. The bait is a kind of wide wobbler but for a search bait that's perfect. You can always catch a few on these and use something else as a change up. If you get some of these get some different depths and make yourself a little system you can run. The DT baits are taking crankbait fishing to the next level for the average joe. sb-mrbassky1

top quality
Brent Pettit (Osgood, IN) 12/14/2008 10:08 PM
I have never had a set of crankbaits that consistently ran as true as these do. Almost every Dt that I have ever owned has ran true right out of the box. These lures have top quality components and do not need to have hooks or split rings changed. I have seen people change out the hooks for round bend gammies, but I have never had a problem with the hooks that come stock. Each size of the DT's has ran extremely well, and to my knoledge, has ran as deep as they are supposed to. I fish the 10 and 16 on BPS Cranking Sticks with 10-12 lb. fluoro, and they do everything that I can ask for in a crank. SN name: bd pettit
