    I know we ask how big can we go? Well I found some deep tail dancer #13. Dives up to 40ft. They come out of the Czech republic. Takes a couple weeks to get. Hopefully these will be available in the US soon

    5-1/4” long Depending on your gear, you may not want to try these on a muskie lake out of muskie season. It might just get you a ticket.

    Very interesting.

    OP, do you know the specs for getting that thing to 40 feet — line diameter and how much line out?

    These would be great for long lining on the St Croix in the summer…..

    I thought I had some Flicker Minnow 13’s that dove near 30 fow, but can only find info on 11’s online that dive to 24′. I’d definitely be buying some of these!

    Glad I just bought those new lead core setups….at least they are cheap-o cabela’s brand. I’ll probably spend more on these crankbaits anyways.

    I bought them from darkagelures
    I must admit, I was nervous About the transaction. But it went great, no issues.

    I do not know the divechart. May have to do some exploring. If you look at the rapala website for other countries. There is different Sizes and colors available.

    Thanks for the info. I forgot Rapala doesn’t actually give the full curve info on the package like Berkley does, just the max depth. Precision Trolling has the curve for the TDD11 but not the 13 yet.

    Do you get a chance to use the 13’s? How did they work?
