Rapala DT16 Series Crankbait

Rapala DT® Series DT16 Crankbait – Legendary Deep Diving Balsa Crankbait

The Rapala DT® Series DT16 Crankbait is one of the most iconic deep-diving crankbaits ever created, delivering a proven action that has earned its place in the tackle boxes of tournament pros and weekend anglers alike. Designed to dive quickly to 16 feet and stay in the strike zone longer, the DT16 is built to efficiently target offshore structure and deep-water bass.

Constructed from the top 7% of premium balsa wood, the DT16 features strategically placed internal weights and an ultra-thin polycarbonate lip that drives the bait to depth with minimal resistance. Its signature Quick Dive™ design creates a nose-down posture, allowing the bait to reach productive water quickly while maintaining the legendary side-to-side action that only balsa crankbaits can produce.

Carefully balanced for maximum casting distance, the DT16 can be launched up to 150 feet, extending time in the strike zone and increasing opportunities for strikes. An internal baritone rattle enhances attraction, while premium finishes and realistic 3D holographic or painted eyes create a lifelike appearance that big bass can't resist.

Equipped with razor-sharp VMC® black nickel treble hooks and tank-tested to run perfectly straight right out of the package, the DT16 delivers reliable, tournament-proven performance cast after cast.
