Rapala DT Series 6' 3/8 2" Bream

The Rapala DT Series 6' 3/8 2" Bream is a balsa crankbait built to reach and hold the strike zone fast. This hard bait dives to a preset depth and stays working where bream are feeding, making it a solid choice for both shallow and moderate-depth structure fishing. Hand-tuned and tank-tested before it ships, the DT is ready to fish right out of the box—no adjustments needed.

What sets the DT apart is its construction: Rapala mills these baits from premium balsa wood and pairs it with a thin polycarbonate lip and strategically positioned internal weights. That combination gives you a crankbait that descends fast on the initial cast, yet doesn't demand a heavy rod to work. The tapered body and thin tail create the side-to-side swimming action that balsa excels at, and the bait's quick-dive, nose-down rest position means it heads straight down the moment your line goes slack. Cast distance matters on the water—the farther you reach, the longer your lure stays in the zone—and the DT's balanced weight lets you throw it a serious distance.

The lure is fitted with a tuned internal baritone rattle to attract fish in darker water or low-visibility conditions. VMC black nickel hooks come standard, and each bait carries finish options with 3D holographic or painted eyes in patterns matched to local forage and water conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the casting distance on this bream crankbait?

The DT's balanced weight and design allow casts up to 150 feet, which lets you reach more water and keep the bait in the strike zone longer on each retrieve.

Do I need to tune or test this crankbait before fishing?

No. Every DT is hand-tuned and tank-tested at the factory, so it's ready to fish right out of the package with no adjustments required.

What does the internal rattle do?

The tuned internal baritone rattle generates sound and vibration to attract fish, especially useful in darker water, stained conditions, or when you need extra draw to trigger strikes.

Will the thin design affect how hard this bait is to cast?

The tapered body and thin tail actually make the DT pull with ease despite its effective diving and working depth. It's one of the advantages of the balsa wood construction.
