Short Overview

The Rapala Dives-To DT04 is a floating crankbait made from premium balsa, designed to quickly reach its running depth and stay in the strike zone longer. It is an excellent choice for anglers looking for lively action, stable performance, and reliable triggering of predatory fish in the shallow to mid-water layer.

Description

This lure was developed for precise coverage of terrain such as bottom transitions, weed edges, rocky spots, and other structures where predatory species hold. Thanks to its ultra-thin polycarbonate lip, carefully distributed internal weights, and tapered body shape, the DT04 quickly reaches a running depth of around 1,2 m (4 ft) while maintaining a pronounced side-to-side action. It is suitable for targeting zander, pike, perch, and other predatory fish in lakes, canals, and rivers.
