Description

The DT® (Dives-To) series of crankbaits, dive fast to a preset depth and stay in the “strike zone” longer than any than other crankbait on the market. Made from the top seven percent of balsa wood, this consistently perfect wood combined with carefully placed internal weights, tapered fuselage and thin tail design creates the ultimate crankbait action, found only in the DT family. Ultra-thin polycarbonate lip digs the bait down quickly to desired depth. Swimming with a side-to-side action only balsa crankbaits can achieve, the DT cranks deep, yet pulls with ease. Perfectly weighted to rest in a “quick-dive” nose down position allowing for immediate descent to desired depth, the DT® can be easily cast 150 feet. Simply put, the farther the cast, the longer the bait stays in the strike zone. It's the most effective way to cover more water and catch more fish. Internal baritone rattle is tuned for best sound performance. Premiere finishes in all the right color patterns, finished with 3D holographic or painted eyes. All come with premium VMC® black nickel hooks. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to swim perfectly right out of the box.

Field Notes

Cast and retrieve to quickly reach a preset running depth and keep the lure in the strike zone longer. Use steady to moderately fast retrieves to maintain the crankbait’s depth, and vary speed if you need to adjust how long it stays in the fish-holding zone.

Pros

  • Dives quickly to a preset depth and stays in the strike zone longer
  • Balsa construction with internal weights for consistent action
  • Ultra-thin polycarbonate lip for reliable depth control
  • Internal baritone rattle for tuned sound
  • Hand-tuned and tank-tested to swim true out of the box

Cons

  • Best performance depends on casting distance and retrieve speed to maintain the preset depth
