Rapala Deep Squid DSQ09 9cm 3.3m 15g PTU

Rapala Deep Squid DSQ09 – Dive Deep for Cephalopods

This balsa-bodied squid lure reaches depths where squid and octopus hide, working rocky structures and crevices with precision.

Rapid Descent to Productive Depths

The oversized diving lip drives the Deep Squid down to 3.3 m quickly and keeps it tracking close to the bottom. This allows you to probe ledges, rocks, and cracks where cephalopods shelter—zones that shallower lures simply cannot reach effectively.

Double Stainless Steel Hook Basket

Two rings of 12 ultra-sharp stainless steel points ensure secure hook-ups on soft-bodied targets. The inox construction resists corrosion in saltwater, maintaining sharpness trip after trip.

Choose the Right Variant

All DSQ09 models share the same 9 cm body, 15 g weight, and 3.3 m running depth—only the colour differs. Select a pattern based on water clarity and light conditions:

• PTU – versatile option for varied light and moderate visibility

• GRT – natural tones for clear water and bright conditions

• GGT – subtle green hues for slightly stained water

• GT – classic translucent finish for calm, clear seas

• GBT – greenish-brown pattern for low-light periods

• BRH – brownish-red tones for overcast skies or dawn/dusk

• CG – chartreuse glow for murky water or deeper dives

• HP – high-visibility pink for attracting attention in dim conditions

• HT – hot tones for aggressive attraction in turbid water

• SFC – flashy finish for triggering reactive strikes

• BSRD – bold red accents for contrast in darker environments

• OTU – orange-tinted pattern for twilight sessions

• FT – fluorescent tones for maximum visibility at depth
