October Freshwater Lure of the Month: Rapala DT6
In the 1930's, Lauri Rapala had a very simple revelation: wounded fish get eaten by big fish, so all he needed to do was to create a lure that resembled a wounded minnow. Sounds easy enough, right? Such a simple thought process, but it is one that has transcended generations and helped to catch millions of fish. The Rapala Original Floater was originally made of timber, and has since been updated to what is included in this month's selection. It's easy to use, durable, and most importantly - it catches fish!
The Original Floaters evolved for the Rapala family into lures that could dive, as that was where the real fish were at! Years after the company began, the "Dives-To" series of crankbaits were founded. These baits dive fast to a present depth and stay in the "strike zone" longer than any other crankbait out there! This month's bait is made of balsa wood, and combined with carefully placed internal weights, a tapered fuselage and thin tail design that creates the ultimate crankbait action.
The Ultra-thin polycarbonate lip digs the bait way down deep, but then it pulls with ease. With the weights set the way they are, it can rest in a "quick-dive" nose down position that allows for immediate descent to desired depth. It can easily be cast to 150 feet. In simple terms, the longer you cast the bait, the longer it stays in the strike zone, which is the single most effective way to cover more water and catch more fish.
As additional features, the internal baritone rattle is tuned for optimal sound performance. The finish on the bait and painted on eyes make this irresistible once it hits the water. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to swim perfectly right out of the box.
Enjoy this crankbait and happy fishing!!
