Poor QualityBought these a long time ago and recently used them and they broke the 2nd time using them. The bill snapped off on one and the bait broke through the middle and the entire bill came out of the bait. Good lure just don't put it through the elements.
Great crankCan get it to 22’ on a long cast with 10lb flouro. Awesome when they’re on shad deep in the warm months. Please bring back the RASTA color though!!
Big fishWe trolled at 3 mph with this thing and caught 6.5 pound bass and 45 pound catfish.

Comments: The DT16 is my all time favorite crankbait. I've probably caught over 3,000 bass with it. One time, I caught 6 bass in 6 casts, so I started counting. I stopped counting, after I caught 46 bass in 50 casts. None of them were big, but most of them were 3 to 4lbs, up to 5lbs. Sp. it was fun.

Comments: My favorite of the DT series. I burn it down steeper rocky banks and have good success. Hang up in rocks sometimes and will just wedge up into them. CITRUS SHAD
