Looking for something that is VERY similar to the DT6

I tried the 1/4 Oz bandits but the DT6 are 3/8 Oz and I am not sure that makes a difference but the DTC Loves the DT6 so much it’s like it was made for that bait. I’m just experimenting but thanks for the advice

Bagley Sunny B medium diver!!!! It dives to the same depth as a DT-6 which is one of my favorite cranks. For the last 3 years I've found myself using it more than the DT-6, it has a good wobble but its shape gives it a slightly tighter action and it has really been a fish catcher. Tennessee Shad, and chartreuse shad are the only colors you need but they have a different take on sexy shad, it is green and has been outstanding in clear water.

the DT-6 is my go to lure on my most visited lake... not sure why, but it is consistent (well, two colors specifically). Interested to see what other folks will suggest as I'm always willing to try something new. :D
