The SRE55 GDTT is a compact 2.2 inch shad wrap designed to perform across species. Its light, buoyant body is built from Rapala Premium Balsa, delivering lively water movement and a natural wobble as you retrieve. A through-wire upgrade replaces a traditional line tie with a high-strength stainless steel plate, which helps lower the lure's center of gravity. The result is steadier flight, improved casting distance, and a confident pull through the water when you pause or pause-and-retrieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe GDTT color, gilded tropical grip, adds a subtle flash in sunlit water while remaining readable in stained conditions. The square lip works with a tungsten core weight to produce a stable track and enhanced obstacle avoidance—great for working around cover or structure. The floating (F) design lets you suspend the lure at the desired depth during pauses, then drive forward with a steady or erratic retrieve to trigger reaction bites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy anglers reach for the SRE55 GDTT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHigh-strength through-wire construction for strength and durable action across casts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBalanced center of gravity helps maintain a stable flight profile and longer casts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSquare lip paired with tungsten core creates a crisp, controlled swimming action\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFloating profile stays near the surface on pauses, enabling stop-and-go tactics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eOn-water versatility and use cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIdeal for trout, sea bass, and other freshwater or nearshore species\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eResponsive to twitches, jerks, and smooth retrieves; adapts to different fishing styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDurable hooks and materials designed for long days on the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eAt a glance: key specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBody size: 2.2 inches (5.5 cm) • Weight: 0.2 oz (7 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDive depth: 8.5 ft (2.4–2.7 m) depending on retrieve\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eColor: GDTT (Gilded Tropic Grip)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBody material: Rapala Premium Balsa\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThrough wire: High-strength stainless steel plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHooks: VMC black nickel treble No. 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePackaging: eco-friendly packaging made from recycled paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eEco‑friendly packaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eIn addition to performance, Rapala emphasizes sustainability.
