The latest addition to the proven lineup of DT series crankbaits, the Rapala DT12 Series Crankbaits are precisely engineered to quickly dive down to 12 feet and stay in the strike zone longer than any other crankbait on the market. Crafted with a premium balsawood construction, the Rapala DT12 Series Crankbaits feature carefully placed internal weights, a tapered fuselage, and a thin tail design to produce the ultimate fish-catching action.

Fitted with an internal baritone rattle chamber that creates high-pitched rattling acoustics, these new crankbaits take attraction to new heights with premium finishes and 3D holographic or painted eyes. Armed with two size #4 razor-sharp VMC black nickel round-bend treble hooks, the Rapala DT12 Series Crankbaits are tank-tuned to swim perfectly straight out of the box with an ultra-thin, high-vibration, polycarbonate lip that dives rapidly to the desired depth.

When the DT (Dives-To) series first hit tackle boxes back in 2003, it promised to dive faster and stay in the strike zone longer than anything else on the market. More than 20 years later, it’s a claim that still holds water.

What sets the DT series apart is its craftsmanship. Only the top 7% of hand-selected balsa wood, prized for its lightness and responsiveness, makes the cut. Each piece is shaped into a tapered fuselage, fitted with internal weights for balance, and finished off with a precision-engineered custom lip. The result? A lure that dives quickly and tracks true, holding its depth throughout the retrieve.

Available in a range of profiles and swimming depths, the DT series gives anglers the versatility to work everything from skinny water to deep structure.
