...the most important thing to remember about the DT-8 or any of the DT Series (DT-4, DT-6, DT-10, DT-14 or DT-16), is that these lures were designed to stay in the designated strike zone.

When it comes to summertime crankbait fishing, there is no lure that will relieve the summertime blues than the DT-8® .

“The whole DT® Series is one of the most productive crankbaits to come along in the history of the sport for largemouth bass and smallmouth bass,” said legendary angler Al Lindner. “It’s really a killer bait. Fish love them and boy do these lures hook ‘em.”

Lindner points to the DT-8’s extra thin lip, its ability to be cast a long distance, its internal rattle chamber, its vibrating action, and the fact that it is made from balsa, which allows it to float up on the pause for reaction bites – all of which contribute to why every bass angler needs to tie one on in the thick of the summer.

In addition, the DT-8 comes in 39 color patterns to cover nearly any type of fishing situation.

But the most important thing to remember about the DT-8 or any of the DT Series (DT-4, DT-6, DT-10, DT-14 or DT-16), is that these lures were designed to stay in the designated strike zone.

So if bass are hovering along the deep weed edges at 8 feet – the DT-8 gets down to that level fast, and stays there.

That’s the secret of the DT Series — keep the lure where the fish are! Which means you will be having more than your fair share of summertime fun.
