Rapala Depth & Fish Species Chart - Part 1

I was at Tightlines and I managed to get hold of the Rapala Depth & Fish Species Chart. According to Rapala, the fish species listed only represent the most popular species which Rapala Pro Staff caught in local and regional water. For the benefit of others, I will be publishing here the different types of Rapala Lures and the type of fishes that it has been proven effective. There are a total of 32 types (series) of lures.

Rapala Dive-to lures.

Rapala DT Series lures, designed by crankbait authority David Fritts, all dive faster and stay in the strike zone longer than any other crankbait on the market. Numerous tournament wins and record catches in the series' maiden year attest to its superior design and fish-catching function. DT Series lures are made from the top seven percent of select balsa wood. Perfectly consistent wood combined with carefully placed internal weights, a tapered fuselage and a thin tail creates the ultimate crankbait action.

Rapala Dive-To Flat Sure Set Lures

The upgrade process continues with the new DT Flat. This series of lures designed with a flat profile, providing maximum flash that attracts otherwise disinterested fish, is the perfect candidate for the VMC Sure Set hook. The single accentuated arm converts near misses and short strikes into catches. The in-line design allows the front hook to hang down, while the back hook is positioned in the "scorpion" upright position. To ensure true tracking, only an in-line hook of this size could be used. Anything else would inhibit the world-renowned Rapala "wounded-minnow" action. Hand-tuned and tank-tested, these lures will run straight and true right out of the box. With the DT action built-in, this series is a natural for both pro and novice alike.

Model : DTFSS07
Swim depth : 2.1 m
Target fishes : Seberau, Toman, Peacock Bass, Estuary Cod, Barramundi (siakap), Mangroove Jack, Haruan, Grouper
