Rapala’s New, Shallow DTO4
To escape the gill-shivering, lipquivering, eye-catching
life-like wobble of Rapala’s® DT® (Dives-To) Series of
crankbaits, fish have had to retreat to water depths of less
than six feet.
Sorry Nemo. You’ve been found. Welcome the new DT04, the
newest addition to Rapala’s masterfully designed DT Series. The
four-foot depth lure features a more aggressive action required
to trigger fish hanging in the shallows.
The philosophy behind the design of the DT04 is that shallow
fish are aggressive, according to DT Series designer and Rapala
Pro Staffer David Fritts. “They want an action that matches
their mood.”
While targeting the four-foot depth range, the DT04 supports
the DT Series promise to dive to the desired depth faster and
remain in the strike zone longer than any other crankbait on the
market. This mode of catching fish has proven successful time
and time again by the DT16, DT10 and DT06, the other crankbait
sizes in the series. Plus, the subtle shaping of the lip
design and positioning of the hooks in relation to the lip help
the DT04 avoid snags in shallow water. For more information,

New Strike King Denny Brauer Pro-Model Jig
Strike King’s new Denny Brauer Premeir Pro-Model Jig with
Bleeding Bait hook will be a hot item in 2005. As noted by the
folks at TTI Industries, originators of the Bleeding Bait red
hook, “Research has shown that a red blood trail triggers the
natural feeding response in predator fish.”
This fact has been proven with lures that feature a red hook
and other red accents to emulate injured prey. Based on Brauer’s
newly-designed Premier Pro-Model Jig, Strike King has added red
eyes, red skirt strands as well as the Bleeding Bait hook to
four deadly colors.
Also new is an exclusive red weed guard that will help fish
key in on the jig. It will be available in 1/4-, 3/8- and
1/2-ounce sizes.
