Vinny Chase Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 definately don't smack the dt's on the water gettin weeds off. the lips will break off for sure doing that. That's the only way I have heard of them breaking.. Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted November 13, 2010 Super User Posted November 13, 2010 Well apparently the 50+ dt's that I have were built differently then everyone else's :-/ i doubt it. its possible youre softer on your baits. Quote
hookset Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 They don't like bridge pillars, dock posts, or rocks either. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted November 14, 2010 Super User Posted November 14, 2010 I dont understand why everyone is so down on DT's. They have produced the most fish for me and I have never had a problem with durability....Maybe it has to with with brand loyalty, but they will continue to be my go to crank until I find a reason to switch. That's why I quit buying them , just too d**n fragile. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted November 14, 2010 Super User Posted November 14, 2010 So go buy a lucky craft for 16 bux and lose it in some brush or buy ya some normans or strike kings for 3.99 that run straight 20% of the time : Quote

Your right I don't fish many rock piles, but mostly vegetation. Even with that said I still have never had one break...just saying Quote
RandySBreth Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 The only DT I've ever broken was when I was trying to get a very long cast to parallel a bridge piling and drilled it directly into said piling! I broke a Pointer on the same piling a month before that, doing the same thing. :'( Otherwise I bounce mine of rock and timber all day long and have never broke one. Yet. Quote
repper Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 As they say...to each his own. I've broken a few DT's but I'm going to keep using them caus they flat out catch fish for me, more than other cranks,even Lc's which cost way more. And they run true, period. And I can't wait to try a couple of the new colors! Quote
