Description

This deep-diving banana-style body lure swims in a pronounced wide tail action without sacrificing the classic Rapala® "wounded-minnow" attraction. The Deep Tail Dancer® features an enlarged, extreme diving lip that plummets the lure as deep as 30 feet unassisted, getting this bait down where the big ones lie during the mid-summer and early fall months. Balsa wood lure with an internal rattle system, the Deep Tail Dancer® features VMC® black nickel treble hooks for quick piercing sharpness and the strength to withstand the fiercest battles. Hand-tuned and tank-tested, each lure swims perfect right out of the box.

  • Wide tail action with wounded-minnow appeal
