I got the color closest to our natural crawfish. Bass really inhale this lure. Dives deep enough and works well around docks as long as there is a reasonably clean bottom. Did not have to tune this lure as it runs straight right out of the box. Retrieve and pause works the best. Most hits on when the lure is stopped.

5 Da big fish Thomas
Excellent crank bait.. Perfect tight swim pattern.

5 Icewater22
I fished the bluegill color because that's the primary food source for the bass in my like. It always catches fish. Buy 2, you ca n't go wrong..

I have caught big bass with the DT10. So far 6lb is biggest. I run it thru the tops of brush about 6- 8'. I have many Rapala's and two of a few and this is one of them. I like the chartreuse and brown for stained water.

Have caught more bass on this lure than any other over the course of close to 2 decades. Best colors are shad, crawdad and perch. Works for largemouth and smallmouth.

5 trb4me
This bait worked great for me and caught many fish. Unfortunately, the plastic lip broke off on mine.

5 stuball56
This is an excellent addition to any tackle box. Works great trolled, cast, and is also a great top water for bass. Cast it out onto the glass smooth morning/evening water, let it sit a minute, give it a couple twitches and........... BAM, fish on! Looks fantastic, and it works. Rapala are the only `` crank baits '' I use now.

5 4Man
Great bait. This order was to replenish my stock.

Got this about 3 weeks ago and amazing results first time out!!

5 Rugrb5
I have doing well on rainbow trout with the CD- 1& CD- 5 silver( Cant seem to find the CD- 3 ever). I prefer the CountDown( sinking) over the original( floating) models. Floating models are too light to cast well. The CD- 1 really seem to work well for trout, simulate minnows the trout feed on. Nice slow retrieve. They will ignore one size totally and then hit on a different size lure minutes apart so keep a couple different sizes and try until you find the one they want. Work for Bass as well.

5 Jebmlb1
This lure was exactly what I was looking for, small in size but attracts fish.

5 Huntinfool69
Bought this item last month and it did n't disappoint. Countdown depth 1 ft per second as advertised and controlled depth with retrieve. Landed 2 rainbows over 18 '' in an hour of casting the river...

5 Jermax
I purchased this Rapala at Dicks in San Luis Obispo. I 'm glad I did because, with it, I caught an 8. 1 pound Trout on March 25, 2019.

Frequently Asked Questions For Balsa Wood Crankbaits

Balsa wood crankbaits are fishing lures made from balsa wood, known for their lightweight and buoyant properties. They typically provide a unique action in the water, making them highly effective for attracting fish. Unlike plastic crankbaits, balsa wood options often offer a more natural movement, which can be crucial in enticing fish during various fishing conditions.

Balsa wood crankbaits are favored for their sensitivity and ability to produce a subtle, lifelike action in the water. Their lightweight nature allows for longer casts and better control during retrieval. Additionally, they tend to have a higher buoyancy, which can be beneficial when targeting fish in shallow waters or around submerged structures.

Balsa wood crankbaits are particularly effective in various fishing scenarios, including shallow water fishing and when targeting species like bass and trout. Their buoyancy and action make them ideal for use in areas with cover, such as weeds or rocks. Additionally, they can be used effectively during different seasons, especially in spring and fall when fish are more active.

Choosing the right balsa wood crankbait involves considering factors such as water depth, fish species, and the type of action you want. Look for crankbaits designed for specific depths to ensure they reach the fish. Additionally, consider the color and pattern of the lure to match the local forage, as this can significantly impact your success on the water.

Balsa wood crankbaits are generally durable, but their longevity can depend on how they are used and cared for. While they can withstand regular use, they may be more susceptible to damage from rough handling or contact with hard surfaces. Proper storage and careful handling can help maintain their performance and extend their lifespan.
