Rapala DT-16

The DT® (Dives-To) series, introduced in 2003, was designed to dive faster and stay in the strike zone longer than any other crankbait on the market. A claim we can still make today. Made from the top 7% of select balsa, this perfectly consistent wood is crafted into a tapered fuselage then precisely fitted with internal weights and matched with a custom lip. DT series lures come in a variety of profiles and swimming depths, allowing anglers to target any area from shallow to deep. These lures dive quickly to a preset depth and stay in the strike zone for the entire retrieve.

Swimming with a side-to-side action only balsa crankbaits can achieve, the Rapala DT Series Crankbaits DT 16 dive down to 16ft yet pulls with ease. Perfectly weighted to provide a “quick-dive” nose down position, allowing for immediate descent to desired depth, the DT series be easily cast 150ft. Simply put, the longer the cast, the longer the bait stays in the strike zone. It’s the most effective way to cover water and catch more fish.

Fitted with an internal baritone rattle for the best possible sound performance, the Rapala DT16 Series Crankbaits take attraction to new heights with premium finishes and 3D holographic or painted eyes. Backed by a pair of razor-sharp VMC black nickel trebles, the Rapala DT Series Crankbait DT16 digs down into the water column to provide a timeless action that has been fooling big bass for years.
