    I had the chance to skip out of work early Friday afternoon and headed straight for the river. The smallie bite has been doing well on Pool 8 and catching a few of these bronzed colored acrobats was on my mind.

    Not getting a start until 1 o’clock the thought was the smallies would be off the tops of the rock and hanging deeper, and they were.

    The Rapala DT 8 and DT 10 made picking apart the ends of wing dams a breeze. Pictured here was the nicest of the night.

    Very nice Bret. Those are great cranks baits. Cast a mile and run deep.

    I have only one of this color left for the fall feeding frenzy, and can not find this color anywhere, so if anyone knows where I can pick up a few in the next few weeks.

    I started using them on a rock wall along a train tracks down on pool 9 last year, and they were killer. I left a couple behind in snags, but tried a lot of other cranks and none produced like the DT8. Bounce it hard off the rock and bammmm…. fish on.

    Is there such a thing? And if there is, where does one get one?

    Are you talking about the DT Thug?

    Those DT’s are money and have been since they hit the shelves. That’s a fine Smallie Bret. Congrats on the catch!!

    Yup, love the DTs…

    …and shame on you Bret for getting me excited about the new DT-8!

    Actually, been wishin’ for a DT-12 for a while…I know, I can throw a DT-14 on 25# flouro…don’t want to…

    Another request would be all of the DT depths in the largest DT body…
