Composed of the finest 7% of balsa wood, the Rapala DT 8 Series Crankbait dives quickly to depths of 8 feet and stays in the "strike zone" longer than any other. Its precisely placed internal weights, tapered fuselage, and thin tail design conjure a crankbait action exclusive to this family. An ultra-thin polycarbonate lip propels the lure with a side-to-side action, and its perfectly weighted to point down for an instant descent. The further the cast, the longer the bait lingers in the zone, giving anglers a greater chance of a catch. An internal baritone rattle emits a sound appealing to predators, while each lure is completed with VMC black nickel hooks, vibrant 3D holographic or painted eyes, and hand-tuned and tank-tested.
