The DT16 performs well in deep water. It dives to 16 feet reliably and stays down longer than other crankbaits I’ve tried. The balance is excellent and it casts smoothly. Great for targeting fish in deeper sections of lakes and reservoirs.

I’ve used this bait in various conditions and it consistently dives to the right depth. The pre-rigged hooks make it easy to use right out of the box. A bit more sensitive than standard models, which is good for detecting fish.

Fished in a deep lake during early fall and caught several bass with the DT16. The depth control is precise and the action is smooth. The balsa wood feels solid and the tail movement is natural.
