Product Description

An industry leader in maximum-efficiency crankbait fishing, the Rapala DT Series has become renowned for its fast-diving action and boat-loading fish-catching prowess. Designed to dive to its target depth faster than other crankbaits, the Rapala DT 16 plunges to the 16-foot depth zone at a lightning-fast rate, keeping your bait in the strike zone longer than the competition. Rapala's DT 16 is perfectly weighted to achieve a fast, nose-down diving posture that runs true and creates minimal angler fatigue, making it the ideal all-day-long deep diving crankbait. Like other baits in the Rapala family, the DT 16 is crafted with the top seven percent of balsa wood on earth, creating a consistently perfect composition throughout the bait with carefully-placed internal weights, tapered fuselage, and a thin tail to produce the ultimate crankbait action. The DT family's diving and swimming action serve up the perfect culmination of a natural wobble with the aggressive drawing power to trigger the biggest fish in the school. Producing a subtle audible thump, the internal baritone rattle provides the best sound performance possible and all Rapala DT 16s are finished with premium color schemes and 3D holographic or painted eyes, depending on the color pattern. Armed by #3 VMC black nickel trebles and with each bait tank-tested to ensure perfection, the Rapala DT 16 is the ultimate weapon for cranking up bites in the 14 to 17-foot zone.
