Rapala DT Series 8' 3/8 oz 2" Live River Shad

Rapala DT Series 8' – Live River Shad

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 8' is built for medium-depth presentations where bass are holding just below the surface.

Key Features

• Top 7% balsa wood construction — premium material for unmatched action and buoyancy
• Ultra-thin polycarbonate lip — digs down quickly to the 8' 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
• Live River Shad color — a hyper-realistic river shad finish with lifelike detail that excels in clear to lightly stained water

How to Fish It

Cast the DT 8' as far as possible and work it with a steady retrieve along points, ledges, and secondary structure. The longer the cast, the more time the bait spends at depth in the strike zone, targeting bass holding in 6–8 feet of water.

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