Rapala Ott Garage Tiny 4' 5/16 2.25" Chart Rootbeer Craw

The Rapala Ott Garage Tiny 4' 5/16 diving crankbait in Chart Rootbeer Craw is built for anglers who want a small, castable crank that hunts the mid-depth strike zone fast and stays there. This 2.25-inch hard bait combines hand-selected balsa wood construction with precision internal weights to deliver the hunting action and cast distance serious crankbait fishermen demand. The Chart Rootbeer Craw finish blends visibility and natural appeal, making it effective across a range of water conditions and target species.

What sets the DT (Dives-To) series apart is its engineering: the ultra-thin polycarbonate lip digs down quickly to its preset depth without the sluggish pull that defeats tired casting arms. Once there, the bait's side-to-side swimming action—something only quality balsa construction achieves—triggers strikes from bass, pike, walleye, and other predators. The quick-dive nose-down rest position means your crank reaches the zone immediately; combined with castability out to 150 feet, you'll cover more productive water per retrieve than slower, heavier alternatives.

Every lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested before it ships, so the action is dialed in right out of the box. VMC black nickel hooks handle the fight, and an internal baritone rattle tuned for optimal sound performance adds another trigger. The 3D holographic or painted eye detail rounds out a lure that looks and swims like it costs twice as much.

Whether you're working shallow timber, drops, or the first break, this tiny Rapala crankbait is a workhorse finesse option that punches above its weight.
