Rapala's DT Series

Featured Replies

Hey guys,

Has anyone had any problems with those Sureset hooks on some of the DT series?  I Like them, they stick fish in all kinds of places, but I feel like I am losing alot of them.  Does anyone else use these and if so do you feel like they get hung up more than your normal hooked cranks?  

I know a lot of guys on here swear by them but I personally don't like them.  I "feel" like I don't get bit as much with them but I think it is just a mental thing.  I swap them out for Owners or Gamakatsus whenever I want a color pattern that comes with those hooks.

I use them quite often and have not had any problems. Some days I get hit and some days I dont,  When I do get hit though They get hooked.

Ive had good success with the sureset hooks.

I bought them separate and put some on the back of my jerkbaits.

I haven't lost a fish with them yet. -WM

I love the hooks and almost put them on a couple of my older cranks that I do not want to lose, but was just wondering if it was in my head or not.  I tell you though, throw a DT 16 all day and you will get a workout.

If you can, get yourself a good cranking stick and a baitcaster with a 5 to 1 gear ratio.  I use a TD-S 7ft cranking rod with a 5 to 1 Lews Speed spool and I have thrown DT 16's and other deep cranks all day with ease.

Ilove the DT's especially in Brown/Craw and Bluegill. I gave up with the sure set THEY CERTAINLY LIVE UP TO THEIR NAME THOUGH They get caught on anything possible and I am accident prone by nature because i don't pay attention. After removing them from: My boat rope and carpet, my Tee Shirt and Ron's hat( He was wearing it at the time) I decided to stay with the regulatr DT's. Now thats not a knock on the bait just knowing my limitations :o

Gee Muddy, even on those few occasions when you are being serious you still make me laugh :o
