Rapala Ott Garage Slim 6' 1/2 2.75" Hot Copper Green Shad

The Rapala Ott Garage Slim 6' 1/2 diving crankbait is a deep-diving hard bait built for anglers who need to reach fish holding in the strike zone fast. Hand-tuned and tank-tested from the factory, this slim-profile crankbait delivers the aggressive side-to-side swimming action that balsa wood crankbaits are known for—combined with the weight distribution and lip design that lets it dive to depth and stay there where it counts. Cast it 150 feet out, and the farther your presentation travels, the longer the lure works the productive water column where bass, pike, and other gamefish hunt.

Built from premium balsa selected from the top seven percent available, this crankbait uses carefully positioned internal weights and a tapered fuselage to achieve the perfect balance of castability and diving performance. The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip does the heavy lifting, digging down quickly to your target depth without excessive drag or effort on the rod. A baritone rattle tuned for optimal sound performance adds another sensory trigger that draws strikes in stained or darker water conditions.

The Hot Copper Green Shad finish combines a metallic copper hue with natural green accents—a proven pattern for freshwater stripers, largemouths, and smallmouths. 3D holographic eyes and premium VMC black nickel hooks round out the package, giving you a lure that looks and performs like it's ready for serious hunting. Whether you're working shallow structure on a reservoir or prospecting deep channel ledges, this Rapala crankbait is engineered to get down, stay put, and trigger reaction strikes.

The DT lip design is engineered for rapid descent to a preset strike zone depth. The exact depth varies with line weight and cast distance, but the ultra-thin polycarbonate lip and balanced weighting system are tuned to dive fast and keep the bait working productive water without excessive effort.

Is this crankbait hand-tuned out of the box?

Yes. Every lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested at the factory to swim perfectly right out of the box, so you can fish it with confidence immediately after purchase.

What fish does the Hot Copper Green Shad finish work best for?

This proven color pattern is effective for freshwater gamefish including largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and stripers. The metallic copper base with green accents mimics natural baitfish in a range of light and water clarity conditions.

How far can you cast this crankbait?

The slim profile, premium balsa construction, and optimized weight distribution allow casts of up to 150 feet. Longer casts mean the bait stays in the strike zone longer, covering more productive water with every retrieve.
