Why anglers reach for the DT Bluegill

Built around a preset running depth, the DT delivers a side-to-side, sound-emitting action that draws attention from curious fish. The lure’s compact 2-inch body and 3/8 oz weight make for confident casts and responsive retrieves, even in varying light and water conditions.

• Quick-Dive Resting Position helps the lure reach depth right away from the cast
• Extra Thin Polycarbonate Lip for precise entry and improved diving behavior
• Perfect Balance with a tapered fuselage and thin tail for a steady wobble
• Long-Casting up to 150 ft to cover more water fast
• Balsa Wood Construction provides buoyancy, feel, and consistent action

The lure also features an internal rattle chamber for subtle sonic attraction, and high-quality hardware including VMC Sure Set Tail Hook and VMC Black Nickel Belly Hook. 3D holographic eyes add lifelike detail, while hand-tuned and tank-tested testing backs up the action anglers expect from the DT series.
