It arrives with three standout refinements that can influence how bass respond in different situations: muted body tones, a translucent pearly finish, and a touch of fine glitter. These features work together with the lure's time-tested DT action to present a natural profile that can read as baitfish in clear water or slightly stained conditions, while still cruising through structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey traits built into the design:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMuted colors crafted to reduce glare and produce lifelike shading at various depths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurable translucent pearly finish that mirrors the sunlit shimmer of baitfish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuper fine glitter that adds depth and subtle flash as the lure darts in the strike zone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePreset running depth and a classic DT body with a tapered profile for fast, stable dives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuality components including black nickel VMC hooks and a SureSet tail for reliable hookups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand tuned and tank tested to ensure the lure runs true before it leaves the shop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOn the water use and benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to target structure at a predetermined depth, this 2-1\/4 inch lure weighs 3\/5 oz and is built from select balsa wood with an internal weight. When reeled with a steady cadence, the DT10 variant typically dives to about 10 feet, making it a solid choice for mid-depth bass encounters, school-move scenarios, and structure-heavy zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of subtle color, pearly gloss, and sparkle can help the lure look like a wounded or startled baitfish, which can invite strikes from bass that might otherwise ignore louder patterns. While results vary with water clarity, light, and fish mood, the lure offers a versatile option for seasonal transitions, pressured waters, and stained to clear environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModel: DT10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody length: 2-1\/4 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 3\/5 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRunning depth: 10 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eColor: Blue back herring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHooks: two No. 4 treble, black nickel VMC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstruction: select balsa with internal weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut of the box, Ike's Custom Ink DT lures are ready to fish, combining Rapala's legacy with Ike's signature tweaks—designed to catch attention where bass hunt, in deeper structures, or when subtle patterns win the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What makes Ike's Custom Ink DT crankbaits different?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: They combine Ike Iaconelli's tuning with Rapala's DT action, featuring muted colors, a pearly finish, and fine glitter for depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What depths does the DT10 run and what are the key specs?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: DT10 runs to about 10 ft; body length 2-1\/4 in; weight 3\/5 oz; two No. 4 treble hooks; black nickel finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Rapala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42127688466512,"sku":"B008CN3COI","price":49.21,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9645\/8576\/files\/rapala-ike-custom-ink-dt10-blue-back-herring.jpg?v=1773327870","url":"https:\/\/canadawildco.com\/products\/rapala-ikes-custom-ink-dt10-crankbait-blue-back-herring-2-1-4","provider":"Canada WildCo. | Hunting Gear, Fishing Equipment \u0026 Outdoor Essentials for the Canadian Wild","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
