Rapala Deep Squid DSQ09 9cm 3.3m 15g HT

Rapala Deep Squid DSQ09 – Dive Deep for Cephalopods

A balsa-bodied squid lure engineered to reach rocky hideouts where calamari and octopus lurk, featuring a double hook basket for secure hookups.

Rapid Descent to Productive Depths

The oversized diving lip drives the Deep Squid down to 3.3 m quickly and keeps it working tight to bottom structure, ledges, and crevices—exactly where cephalopods shelter. At slow trolling speeds this lure tracks true, covering ground efficiently without constant rod input.

Premium Balsa Construction & Dual Hook Basket

Lightweight balsa delivers a lively, responsive action that triggers strikes, while the double stainless-steel basket armed with 2×12 razor-sharp points ensures reliable hooking and holding power on soft-bodied targets.
