Rapala Dives-To DT16

Short Overview

The Rapala Dives-To DT16 is a deep-diving crankbait lure designed for quickly covering deeper spots and staying in the strike zone. It is an excellent choice for anglers looking for lively action, long casting distance, and reliable performance along transitions, edges, and over hard bottom.

Description

The DT16 model was developed for effective retrieves at greater depths, where predators often hold near underwater structures, channels, and bottom breaks. The balsa body, carefully distributed internal weighting, and thin tail create pronounced rolling action and vibration, while the thin polycarbonate diving bill allows it to reach its running depth quickly. The lure is suitable for both spinning and baitcasting, especially when you need to actively search the area and trigger reaction strikes.
