The Rapala DT Series 3/8 Shad is a balsa crankbait built to reach your target depth fast and hold the strike zone longer than comparable lures. If you're fishing deep structure, current breaks, or need to cover water efficiently in a single cast, this is the crankbait that delivers. Rapala selects only the top seven percent of balsa wood for the DT line, then carefully positions internal weights and designs a tapered body to create the signature side-to-side wobble that balsa is known for. The thin polycarbonate lip bites hard on the retrieve, pulling the lure down to depth without fighting your rod.
What sets the DT apart is its quick-dive, nose-down rest position. The moment it hits the water, it's already descending—no wasted time waiting for depth. Cast this 3/8 shad 150 feet and you're not just covering distance; you're extending how long it works the productive zone on each retrieve. The internal baritone rattle is tuned to produce the right frequency to trigger bites, and the lure ships hand-tuned and tank-tested so it swims true out of the box. Premium VMC black nickel hooks are standard.
Rapala finishes the DT Series 3/8 Shad in carefully chosen color patterns, with 3D holographic or painted eyes to match forage and light conditions. It's a no-excuses deep-diving crankbait for serious anglers who need a lure that gets down, stays down, and pulls with a clean, predictable action—whether you're working rock, timber, or open water structure.

The lure is designed to dive to a preset depth determined by the thin polycarbonate lip and internal weight distribution. Rapala does not specify an exact maximum depth in the provided information, so we recommend checking the product packaging or contacting Rapala directly for depth ratings on this specific model.
Balsa wood, especially premium selections like those used in the DT Series, produces the signature side-to-side wobble that's difficult to achieve with plastic. Balsa also allows for longer casts and pulls easier on the retrieve while diving to depth, making it ideal for covering water efficiently.
Yes. Every DT Series lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure it swims perfectly right out of the box, with no tuning required.
The Rapala DT Series 3/8 Shad comes rigged with premium VMC black nickel hooks and ready to fish. It is available in multiple color patterns with your choice of 3D holographic or painted eye finishes.
