Museum Archive: Rapala DT10, 3/5oz fishing lure #18305

Vibrant UV-reactive crawfish patterns define the finish of this 3/5 oz (17g) balsa wood deep diver. Specifically engineered to reach a depth of 10 ft (3 m) using casting techniques, the Rapala DT10 (Product Code 18305) is a staple for anglers targeting perch, zander, or pike. The orange body is intricately detailed with black carapace-style markings and a dark, speckled spine that transitions from the head to the tail. It carries a clear diving lip, characteristic of the DT series, and comes equipped with two sharp treble hooks: a bronzed belly hook and a contrasting red tail hook. This specimen is unused, showing zero signs of use or wear. Measuring approximately 2.25 in (6 cm), the balsa construction provides the buoyancy needed for its floating classification.
