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 12 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

Use this balsa crankbait when bass are holding in the strike zone around structure and you want a lure that reaches a preset depth quickly. It is suited to rivers, creeks, and other skinny water, as well as deeper structure when fish are positioned down in the cover. Best worked with steady retrieves and occasional pauses to keep the bait in the target depth range.

Pros

  • Balsa construction gives a natural crankbait action and buoyancy
  • Designed to dive quickly and stay in the strike zone longer
  • Useful in both shallow and deeper structure

Cons

  • Depth is fixed to the preset DT 12 range
  • Balsa bodies can be less durable than hard plastic in heavy cover
