Description

The DT® series was introduced in 2003 and quickly took the USA Bass scene by storm. The DT® Series is made of the top 7% of selected balsa wood to ensure the lures all have the desired action and buoyancy. Designed to dive quickly to the pre-set depth and stay in the strike zone longer than other crankbaits on the market. Available in a wide range of colours from natural baitfish and cray patterns to reaction colours to cover all bases. The DT 04 allows anglers the ability to use the DT range in shallower water like rivers, creeks and other skinny water. Ideal for targeting bass, yellow belly, Murray cod and even trout when they are holding deep in the structure. The deep cranking phenomenon is sweeping the market here for Australia and the DT range is leading the charge.

Field Notes

A shallow-diving crankbait designed to reach a preset depth quickly and stay in the strike zone. Best for casting around rivers, creeks, and other skinny water where bass are holding near cover or structure. It can also be used when fish are positioned deeper in the structure and you want a consistent retrieve.

Pros

  • Balsa construction gives it a natural crankbait action and buoyancy
  • Reaches its running depth quickly and stays in the strike zone
  • Useful in shallow water and around structure

Cons

  • Limited to a shallow running depth compared with deeper DT models
  • Balsa bodies can be less durable than harder plastic baits
