Rapala Ott Garage Tiny 4' 5/16 2.25" Hot Copper Green Shad

The Rapala Ott Garage Tiny 4' 5/16 diving crankbait is a compact, hard-working lure built for anglers who need to reach deeper structure and cover more water on every cast. At 2.25 inches, this small-profile crankbait dives fast to a preset depth and holds the strike zone longer than standard shallow runners, making it ideal for targeting suspended fish around weed lines, drop-offs, and rocky structure. The Hot Copper Green Shad finish is a natural, high-visibility pattern that triggers strikes in a variety of light conditions.

What sets this crankbait apart is its construction: hand-selected balsa wood—pulled from the top seven percent of available stock—combined with precision internal weighting creates the characteristic tight, darting side-to-side action that only balsa can deliver. The thin, tapered fuselage and minimal tail design reduce water resistance, so the lure dives quickly yet pulls with minimal effort on the rod. An ultra-thin polycarbonate lip handles the hard work of driving the bait down to depth, while the carefully balanced body assumes a quick-dive nose-down position the instant it hits the water, eliminating dead time on the cast.

Inside, an internal baritone rattle provides sonic attraction tuned for optimal performance. The lure comes rigged with premium VMC black nickel hooks and finished with 3D holographic or painted eyes for realistic detail. Every lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested before it ships, so it swims true right out of the box. Built for distance casting and designed to stay productive in the strike zone longer, the Rapala Tiny DT is a proven shallow-to-medium depth search tool for walleye, pike, perch, and trout.
