Rapala DT Series 3/8 2" Shad$10.06
Availability: In Stock
The Rapala DT Series 6' 3/8 2" Lemon Shad is a premium balsa crankbait engineered to reach depth fast and stay fishing the strike zone longer than standard hardbaits. Built from premium balsa wood and fitted with a thin polycarbonate lip, this lure dives aggressively to its target depth and holds position where bass, pike, and other gamefish hunt. The lemon shad finish mimics natural forage and pairs with 3D holographic or painted eyes for added flash in varying light conditions.
What sets the DT apart is its balanced design: a nose-down resting position means the bait hits bottom quickly after the cast, with minimal slack in the line. That aggressive descent translates to longer time in the productive zone on every retrieve—and longer in the zone means more strikes. The thin-bodied profile and internal weight distribution create the signature side-to-side swimming action only balsa crankbaits deliver, all while pulling with surprisingly light effort. You'll cast 150 feet without fatigue, and each foot of additional distance buys you extra depth time when the lure's diving.
The DT's internal baritone rattle is tuned for effective sound projection, helping fish locate the bait in stained water or low-light conditions. Every lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested at the factory, so it swims true out of the box—no tweaking required. Premium VMC black nickel hooks are sharp and corrosion-resistant, ready for hard-fighting freshwater species.

The DT Series is a versatile freshwater crankbait effective on bass, pike, and other gamefish that respond to small hardbaits and natural forage patterns. The lemon shad finish mimics common baitfish, making it a solid choice for reservoirs, lakes, and rivers.
While the exact maximum depth isn't specified here, the DT Series is designed to dive fast and reach the strike zone quickly. The thin polycarbonate lip and balanced weight distribution ensure aggressive descent, and you can extend depth by casting farther and allowing more line to pull the bait down.
Yes. Every DT Series lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested at the factory to swim perfectly right out of the box, so no adjustment or tuning is required before your first cast.
Balsa crankbaits deliver a unique side-to-side swimming action and superior castability compared to plastic hardbaits. The DT's premium balsa construction also allows it to dive fast and stay in the strike zone longer while pulling with ease, making it an efficient choice for covering water and catching more fish.
