Having fished Rapala lures since the first time I ever handled a fishing rod I am excited each year to check out their new lure selections, and with the massive success of the Rapala DT (Dives-To) series, the DT Thug is a natural addition to my tackle box. The Rapala DT Thug is VERY similar to the original DT in body shape but differs in lip design, sporting a lip very similar to the new Crankin’ Rap by Rapala. The sharp angle in the lip causes the Thug to dive to its swimming depth much quicker than a straight lipped crankbait. Thus far the Thug has shown a lot of promise on the water, however I will be fishing it through the spring and early summer months this coming season, as the winter’s ice is creeping in on us here in Massachusetts.
