The Rapala DT Series 10' crankbait is purpose-built for anglers who need to reach deep strike zones and cover water efficiently. This diving crankbait dives to 10 feet and is engineered to stay in the productive zone longer than standard cranks, making it a solid choice for river bass, walleye, and pike hunters targeting structure below the surface. At 3/5 ounces with a 2.25-inch profile in Live River Shad finish, it balances castability with the depth and action you need when the fish aren't shallow.
DT Series baits are carved from premium balsa wood—only the top seven percent makes the cut—which gives them the side-to-side swimming motion that makes balsa cranks so effective. The thin polycarbonate lip drives the lure down quickly to its target depth, and the carefully positioned internal weights create a nose-down rest position that ensures immediate, efficient descent. That design pays real dividends: the farther you cast, the longer the bait works the strike zone on the retrieve. A tuned baritone rattle adds sonic attraction without overwhelming the water, and the lure ships with premium VMC black nickel hooks. Each one is hand-tuned and tank-tested before it ships, so you're getting a bait that swims true right out of the box.
If you're working deep runs, ledges, or submerged timber in rivers or reservoirs, the DT 10' Live River Shad covers ground fast and doesn't exhaust your arm on the cast. It's the kind of crankbait that rewards a methodical approach—long casts, steady retrieve, and confidence in the depth you're covering.

The DT 10' is a versatile deep-diver suited to rivers, reservoirs, and lakes where bass, walleye, and pike hold in deeper water around structure, ledges, and drop-offs. Its quick descent and long cast range make it effective for covering productive zones in moving water or open basins.
At 3/5 ounces, the DT 10' is reported to cast up to 150 feet, allowing you to reach deeper water and extend the time the bait spends in the strike zone on each retrieve.
Yes. Each DT Series crankbait is hand-tuned and tank-tested before shipment to ensure it swims perfectly right away. You don't need to make adjustments—tie it on and cast.
Balsa construction (only the top seven percent of balsa is used in the DT Series) produces a natural, aggressive side-to-side swimming action that is difficult to replicate in plastic. This motion, combined with the internal weight distribution, creates the consistent, lifelike movement that makes balsa cranks effective for triggering strikes.
