Rapala DT Series 16' 3/4 oz Ike-Penguin

Rapala DT Series 16' – Ike-Penguin

The Rapala DT (Dives-To) Series is engineered to dive fast to a precise depth and stay in the strike zone longer than any other crankbait on the market. Built from the top 7% of balsa wood and hand-tuned to swim perfectly right out of the box, the DT 16' is a deep-diving powerhouse built for targeting bass on deep ledges, humps, and offshore structure.

Key Features

• Top 7% balsa wood construction — premium material for unmatched action and buoyancy
• Ultra-thin polycarbonate lip — digs down quickly to the 16' strike zone
• Side-to-side action only balsa crankbaits can achieve
• Nose-down quick-dive position — reaches depth immediately on the cast
• Castable up to 150 feet — the farther the cast, the longer it stays in the zone
• Internal baritone rattle tuned for best sound performance
• Premium VMC black nickel hooks
• 3D holographic or painted eyes with premiere finishes
• Ike-Penguin color — a pro-designed black and white pattern developed with tournament angler Mike Iaconelli for clear water and high-pressure conditions

How to Fish It

Cast the DT 16' as far as possible and work it with a steady retrieve along deep ledges, channel edges, and offshore humps. The longer the cast, the more time the bait spends at depth in the strike zone, targeting bass holding in 12–16 feet of water.

Hand-tuned and tank-tested — every DT swims perfectly right out of the box.
