Rapala
The Rapala DT Series 3/5 Silver is a premium diving crankbait built from select balsa wood and engineered to reach its target depth fast, then hold the strike zone longer than conventional crankbaits. The 3/5 designation refers to its dive depth and size class—a versatile choice for bass, pike, and walleye anglers who need a lure that tracks true and covers water efficiently. The silver finish is a proven producer in clear to slightly stained water, delivering visibility and flash that triggers aggressive strikes across a range of light conditions.
What sets the DT apart is its construction and tuning philosophy. Rapala selects balsa wood from the top seven percent of available stock, then combines it with precisely positioned internal weights and a tapered, thin-tail design to generate the side-to-side swimming action only balsa crankbaits can deliver. The lure rests in a nose-down attitude that allows immediate descent to depth; you cast it out, engage the reel, and it dives on a direct line to the strike zone without wasted motion. The ultra-thin polycarbonate lip does the work—digging hard into the water column so the bait gets deep and stays deep without excessive rod pressure.
Casting distance matters when you're hunting scattered fish across a large flat or structure. The DT's balanced weight distribution and aerodynamic profile let you throw it 150 feet, which translates to more time on the bottom and more exposure to feeding fish. An internal baritone rattle adds sonic trigger that appeals to predatory instinct. The lure comes rigged with premium VMC black nickel hooks—no downgrade hardware here—and each one is hand-tuned and tank-tested before it ships to ensure it swims perfectly out of the box.
Silver finishes work year-round on suspending species, but they especially shine in spring and fall when baitfish runs are active. Whether you're throwing it from a dock, boat, or wade fishing shallow structure, the DT 3/5 is a workhorse crankbait that rewards methodical retrieves and covers water when you need results.

Silver is a versatile finish that performs well in clear to slightly stained water and across most seasonal conditions. It delivers good visibility and flash in spring and fall when baitfish runs are active, making it a year-round choice for bass, pike, and walleye.
The DT designation stands for "Dives-To," indicating the lure is engineered to reach and hold a specific depth range. The 3/5 will dive quickly to its target depth and maintain that strike zone longer than conventional crankbaits without requiring excessive rod pressure.
Balsa wood construction allows for the side-to-side swimming action that triggers predatory strikes. Rapala selects from the top seven percent of balsa wood available and combines it with precision internal weighting to achieve superior action and castability. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to swim true right out of the box.
The DT Series 3/5 is designed to cast up to 150 feet. The balanced weight distribution, tapered fuselage, and thin-tail design reduce air resistance and allow efficient long-distance casting, which extends your time covering the strike zone and increases your chances of connecting with fish.
