Replica. Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Anyone try this new crank yet?. Looks like a fat DT but has a square lip. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted October 17, 2007 Super User Posted October 17, 2007 I haven't used them but here's a video: http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/3680755/ I prefer japanese baits! Quote

Stringjam Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I put one through the paces last weekend.......perfect conditions for testing out a square-billed crank (fish were buried in cover). I had to bust straight trough the middle of the bushes to get bit - - the Rapala worked great and I ended up with a very nice limit on a tough day. I personally think it's pretty ugly....but the fish dug it, so that's good enough for me. My favorite crank for this kind of thing is still the Lucky Craft RC 2.5, though - - alternating back and forth between the two I still like the more natural action and appearance of the LC - - but the Rapala is, IMO, a very good crank!

frogtog Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Great video T-Rig, I liked that I'm going out this morning and get me some. Quote

Z-Nail1 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Anyone know where the new Rapala cranks can be purchased? Quote
Super User T-rig Posted October 17, 2007 Super User Posted October 17, 2007 I just found these custom painted DT Fat 3 on ebay and they look pretty good! http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=Rapala+DT+Fat+3+&category0= Quote
Z-Nail1 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 They look great T-Rig. However, do you know when they will be commercially available? Quote

Big-Bass Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Cabela's has them...I got one for my dad there about 2 weeks ago or so and he loves it!!! Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted October 17, 2007 Super User Posted October 17, 2007 Bass pro near me(ft. meyers FL) had them,b ut I have yet to see em on BPS web site yet.I guess there is supposed to be another size due to come out,bigger and runs a little deeper.The monkey is calling again.I already have two each of my favorite colors in these.Olive,Silver,chart purp back,firetiger,parrot. But any way,these cranks work pretty sweet as with all the dts and someone who hasnt won the lottery yet can buy them. Quote
Z-Nail1 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I'd like to get ahold of some, but I haven't seen them in MN yet. Quote
Stringjam Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I have used most Rapala cranks (not the the DT Fat 3) but don't like them. I sold them all. I prefer these: Looks like Imakatsu IK-50's.....I like them, too. Not quite as much as RC 1.5's, but I dig them.......I haven't used them as much so I may change my mind some day... My O.S.P. Blitz Max should be arriving this week.......I really like the standard Blitz, so I'm expecting this one to be a winner, too. BTW......I got my Rapala DT Fats at BPS (at the store). Quote

I think you wont be disapointet with the blitz max. It's the same as the blitz just a bit bigger. I haven't used them but they look great! Have you used the blitz mr? Quote
Stringjam Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I haven't tried the MR............so many cranks - so little time!! Quote
jwo1124 Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I have never used these sepcific cranks from Rapala, although I have had them reccommended to me and have heard only great things about them. I do most fishing from the shore line, so I have no need to get the deeper diving ones. I am thinking about getting some DT4's for working the shallows around shore. Matched with some Rapala topwaters and jerkbaits, I'll be catching some fish. Quote

It wont bounce through logs/rogs and such as well as a square bill though. Quote
