The Rapala Ott Garage Slim 6' 1/2 2.75" Red Crawdad is a compact diving crankbait built from premium balsa wood and engineered to reach its target depth quickly and stay there. If you're fishing tight cover, shallow structure, or anywhere you need a bait that dives hard and stays in the strike zone, this crankbait delivers the side-to-side swimming action that balsa baits are famous for. The Slim profile and modest size make it a versatile choice for anglers targeting bass, pike, and other species that hunt crawdad-colored offerings.
What sets the DT® (Dives-To) series apart is the engineering beneath the finish. Rapala hand-selects balsa from the top seven percent of available wood, then combines it with precisely positioned internal weights and a tapered body design to achieve a nose-down rest position that triggers an immediate dive. This means less wasted time waiting for depth and more casts covering productive water. The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip cuts through the water efficiently, letting you reach depth without excessive effort on the rod—important when you're grinding all day on the water.
The internal baritone rattle is tuned for acoustic performance, and the Red Crawdad finish features either 3D holographic or painted eyes to trigger strikes in varying light. Each bait ships with premium VMC® black nickel hooks and arrives hand-tuned and tank-tested, so it swims true right out of the box. Cast distance easily reaches 150 feet, extending your coverage and the time your lure spends in the strike zone with every throw.
