TheRapala DT Metal 20 Citrus Shad Rapala DT Metal 20 Citrus Shad reaches deep strike zones fast with its precision-weighted balsa body and ultra-thin polycarbonate lip featuring a permanently embedded metal disc. Built for long casting, up to 150 feet, the bait achieves rapid descent to its true 20-foot running depth, staying in the zone longer to trigger bites from pressured or deep-holding fish. Its thin tail design, internal baritone rattle, and signature balsa wobble create a tight yet lively action. Outfitted with premium VMC SureSet® and Black Nickel hooks, each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested for flawless performance straight from the package.
