Description

The Rapala DT (Dives-To, ダイブストゥ) series is a balsa-bodied floating crankbait developed with tournament angler David Fritts. An ultra-thin lip and internal weighting drive a fast dive to the model's target depth, with a natural wobbling action and an internal rattle for added sound.

This listing is a 5cm, 12g size class within the DT series. Stocked colours: BRM Bream, CCW Classic Craw, CSCW Crystal Craw, and LSD Lemon Shad.

Information

The swimming action

The DT's fixed centre of gravity and internal rattle capsule give it a stable, tight wobble from the first turn of the handle, and the Dives-To lip drives it down hard on the cast and retrieve. It tracks true under load and holds its running depth of around 1.8–2.4 m rather than climbing back toward the surface.

When to throw it

Suited to bass holding on deep points, humps, ledges or brush where a search bait needs to reach depth fast. It comes into its own through the warmer months when fish sit deeper on structure, and its long casting distance helps cover water quickly from the bank or a drifting boat.

How to work it

Cast well past the target, then grind it down on a steady, moderate-to-fast retrieve until the lip ticks bottom or cover; a brief pause after contact often draws a reaction strike. Slowing the retrieve lets it hold a touch shallower in the water column.

The setup it likes

Suits a 7' medium-heavy baitcasting rod with a 6.3:1 reel and 12–17 lb fluorocarbon; the balsa body absorbs enough shock that a slightly heavier leader around cover is no handicap.
