The Rapala Deep Tail Dancer TDD09 JLC is a medium-size deep-diving crankbait engineered to run true and reach depths up to 20 feet. Its banana-style balsa body creates a wide, rolling tail action that perfectly imitates a fleeing baitfish, making it irresistible to big walleye and pike. Equipped with an internal rattle system, durable diving lip, and VMC® black nickel hooks, this lure combines sound, vibration, and flash for maximum attraction. Hand-tuned and tank-tested, it’s built to perform flawlessly right out of the box.
