There’s just something about the classic balsa crankbaits, the action they have just brings in more fish often, but with the positives there are always some negatives to balsa wood builds. Berkley understands both sides of that balsa wood coin. So they have built upon the success of the Berkley Frittside, their first flat-sided balsa crankbait alternative, and made the new Berkley Dime. The team of engineers at Berkley Labs utilized that same proven method and tech to make their newest balsa alternative mid-depth crankbait.
This new balsa alternative crankbait offers anglers the durability and performance of new molded plastic lures but still retains that classic action of balsa lures. All of this is due to Berkley’s patented Flash Disc technology inside the lure giving the crankbait that classic action. The Berkley Dime also casts further due to the weight transfer system in smaller sizes and tracks perfectly. All sizes of the Dimes come equipped with sticky shark Fusion19 treble hooks right out of the box. The Dime is also going to be offered in 21 different colors and finishes that balsa lures just can’t achieve. These crankbaits will be available to purchase starting September of this year and will retail for $10.99
