Key design and action

Rapala DT06 lures are crafted to reach depth quickly while maintaining a crisp, lifelike wobble. The profile includes a tapered fuselage and an internal weighting scheme that helps the lure cut through water and stay in the strike zone longer. An extra-thin polycarbonate lip reduces drag and promotes a clean, accurate track, so you can fish with confidence from the first cast.

• Quick-Dive Resting Position to prompt fast submersion at the start of the retrieve
• Extra Thin Polycarbonate Lip for crisp tracking and minimal snagging
• Perfect Balance for stable swimming and predictable depth
• Long Casting up to 150 ft. to reach distant targets
• Balsa Wood Construction for buoyant, lively action
