One of the two crankbaits that Ike is relying upon for most of his bites is an out-of-production Rapala DT Flat 3.
Apparently fellow competitor Ott DeFoe amassed quite the collection of them and makes some key modifications for specific situations. Rapala is working to reintroduce the updated bait, but as of now Ike said that only he, Ott and Brandon Palaniuk own any.
It is unclear whether he will have to pay Ott a commission or royalty if he wins on it.
