Rapala Deep Tail Dancer Crankbait TDD11 11cm 9m 22g RDT

Rapala Deep Tail Dancer TDD11 RDT – Reach Predators in the Deepest Zones

This balsa crankbait dives down to 9 m unassisted, bringing its irresistible wide-tail dance right into the strike zone of deep-holding fish.

Extreme Depth Without Extra Weight

The oversized diving lip pulls the Deep Tail Dancer down quickly—cast or troll it to reach structure, drop-offs, and thermoclines that shallower lures simply cannot touch. The floating design lets you pause and rise on the retrieve, triggering reaction strikes.

Balsa-Born Action That Triggers Strikes

Only balsa produces the erratic, wide tail-dancing motion this lure is famous for. Combined with a strong flanking action and an internal rattle, the TDD11 broadcasts both visual and acoustic signals that call fish in from a distance.
