Most of the fish he weighed in during the event were caught on DT-10, DT-14 and DT-16 crankbaits in Caribbean Shad and Demon colors.

The 2 3/4-inch DT-14 was one of the three DT Series crankbaits Kentucky pro Terry Bolton relied on to win his first FLW Tour tournament last year on Sam Rayburn Reservoir in Texas. The color pattern he used to catch the schooling bass was Big Shad, which he helped Rapala design. The 2 1/4-inch round-lipped DT-10 was the key lure Ott DeFoe threw to win a 2020 MLF Bass Pro Tour event in Texas. Running the crankbait through a huge school of bass with about 35 minutes left in the tournament, DeFoe caught a 2-pound keeper, then a 9-pound, 6-ounce largemouth followed by a 5-pound largemouth to climb from third place into the winner’s circle. MLF star Jacob Wheeler considers this crankbait one of his must-have bass lures because it matches the size of a bass’ general forage and covers the depths he prefers fishing in the spring, summer and fall whether he is fishing reservoirs, lakes or rivers. He rates the Live River Shad as a good all-around color for the DT-6.
This crankbait also measures 2 inches but its longer bill allows the lure to dive down to 6 feet. His favorite crankbait colors for stained to muddy water are red, orange and chartreuse in craw patterns. Major League Fishing (MLF) pro Ott DeFoe also picks the DT-4 to catch early spring bass in stained to muddy water around rocky, channel-swing banks. He favors a straight red craw pattern for his DT-4 in stained water and chartreuse colors for muddy water.
Bassmaster Elite Series pro Brandon Palaniuk likes to throw this crankbait in a bright crawfish pattern around shallow rocks and wood in the spring when the water temperature is in the 45- to 49-degree range. This 2-inch crankbait has a short bill for running at depths of 4 feet or less. The Rapala DT Series crankbaits range in diving depths from 2-20+ feet. Here’s a look at the various DT Series models and how the tournament pros employ them to catch bass. The DT Series crankbaits have accounted for numerous tournament wins since the lure’s introduction in 2003, attesting to its design and fish-catching ability. The DT crankbaits are constructed of balsa wood combined with internal weights, a tapered body and a thin tail that generate a distinctive action. If you choose a DT-10 for example, the crankbait will dive to and run consistently at 10 feet. The DT stands for “dives to” so the crankbaits dive fast to pre-set depths and stay in the strike zone longer than other crankbaits. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to swim perfectly right out of the box.ĭISCLAIMER: THE PICTURES SERVE AS A GUIDE ONLY AND MAY NOT BE AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF THE PRODUCT IN STORE.The Rapala DT Series of crankbaits makes it easier for you to figure out which lure to choose to catch bass at various depths.
