I have had a few of mine break also, but only when they hit a dock or rock.

it's funny when you pull it up and only the plastic bill is there.
I've also had the paint crack on one...

The bills coming out has always been a problem with these baits, but at least they don't cost $15 each and they catch fish! Great cranks!

If you guys find the broken lure I can fix it.. or switch out your bills with a Lexan bill on other DT's you have... I havent had the problem your talkin about but I have had others tell about it..
Just PM if your interested. and I will send you my number so we can talk about it over the phone.
Lexan is tuff stuff you cant break it.

im in the process of converting bill from various crank baits from the typical brittle plastic to a hard G-10 material. once i have this perfected i will help people out with this problem.

I have only had one Rapala break and it was a DT 10 after I hit a dock and I hit it hard but other than that they are my fav cranks.
