I have done this with a DT6 by bending the lip down to an angle that duplicates the angle of an alltime favorite of mine the Bagley's B Flat Diver. What you do is heat the Lexan lip with a cig lighter and then bend it down changing the angle.

He showed me how to diversify your DT's even within the same lure size. I learned somthing about the DT series of lures from a TV Fishing personality that is sponsored by rapala. Isn't that thre reason we have so many options in our tackle box. I have options and I let the fish tell me when I am out trying ot catch them. I already have my preferences to my favorites. Oh per last post me not wanting to hear witch lure wokrs better. Curious as to how much the fish distinguishes between competing lure design. What my conclusion is most of the shallow CB swim action I have seen noticed look very, very similar. What has me posting these questions between lures are from my experience testing the retyrieve action in my swimming pool. Although, Rapala DT4 in Pear gray Shad and Olive flash are incredibly productive (natural) colors. Also, LC has awesome colors for their lures. What I realy likw about the RC is the use of non-rattle crankbait that you can cast far and work in cover. I have a better understanding with the RC's just trying to better understand the design of the shallow DT's. The RC1.5 has a little wider wobble(slower) then the DT4. From my understanding is LC has designed the RC to create wake vibration with it's wobble to create strikes. I feel very comfortable throwing the DT4 in cover where I throw my RC 1.5.

I think both lures are equally good in cover. Not sure how much you have fished the DT4 but I alternate the LC RC 1.5 and DT4's evertime I go out. Not trying to start problems with anyone either, Corey I know that the Clunn's are designed for shallow water and excel with a wider and more fluid wobble. I know you don't want to her this but the rick clunns have a better action then the DT's as far as I can see in and around cover in shallow water, but as far as the deep DT's are concerned they are better then the regular lucky craft's.

At the end of the day where does the DT fit into regarding tight wobble vs. Not sure if that make a big difference to the fish. One thing I do like about the LC RC's is the detail to their paint schemes. I like that as an alternative to rattle crank baits too. Also, I am aware the RC's do not have rattles. Is the round bill of the DT being smaller have anything to it's ability to roll over laydownd. I know I have read squre bill being more snag proof with laydowns but I feel both are equally the same. I own both and have caught nice bass on both. I will say there seems to be more rod tip action with my DT4's. I can't tell a big difference between them. I want to understand the difference if anyone can comment on this question. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to swim perfectly right out of the box.This is not a post to say which is better. All come with premium VMC black nickel hooks. Premiere finishes in all the right color patterns, finished with 3D holographic or painted eyes. Internal baritone rattle is tuned for best sound performance. It's the most effective way to cover more water and catch more fish. Simply put, the farther the cast, the longer the bait stays in the strike zone. Perfectly weighted to rest in a 'quick-dive' nose down position allowing for immediate descent to desired depth, the DT can be easily cast 150 feet. Swimming with a side-to-side action only balsa crankbaits can achieve, the DT cranks deep, yet pulls with ease. Ultra-thin polycarbonate lip digs the bait down quickly to desired depth. Made from the top seven percent of balsa wood, this consistently perfect wood combined with carefully placed internal weights, tapered fuselage and thin tail design creates the ultimate crankbait action, found only in the DT family.

The Rapala DT10 (Dives-To) series of crankbaits dives fast to a preset 10 foot depth and stay in the 'strike zone' longer than any than other crankbait on the market.

Extra thin polycarbonate lip for perfect balance.The Rapala DT10 is a 2 1/4 inch, 3/5 ounce extra deep diving balsa wood crankbait.
