The DRT Tiny Klash displays one of the the highest degree of engineering ingenuity and precision in a swimbait, but once you get to know Division Rebel Tackles, their level of quality will become apparent as it shines through in everything they do.

The KlashLow-Floatsits lower in the water, subsurface, but just barely, and if on fluorocarbon, the bait will sink ever so slightly.

The Division Rebel Tackles Klash Lip and Tail are important pieces of the lure’s engineering. Constructed out of ABS Plastic and designed with a keel on the underside, the Klash lip is removable allowing the bait to display different actions based on the users preference.

The Tiny Klash is available in two models – that Division Rebel Tackles labels as:
Hi-Float&Low-Float. First and foremost, let’s take those two terms and redefine them.

• Hi-Floatmeans floating. This version of the Klash is a topwater lure
• Low-Floatmeans it sits lower in the water, subsurface, but just barely. If you use fluorocarbon, the bait will sink ever so slightly.

• KLASH TAIL
  The Klash Tail is another crucial element in lure’s action and was perhaps even more painstakingly researched and tested than the lip itself. There’s a expression from Latin that says, “The smallest things are the most important” – and we feel that is very accurate when describing the Klash as a whole and specifically when explaining how the the tail works. The easy part to understand is that the tail is a dense, durable plastic that fits in the bait securely and will remain in tact throughout it’s life span under normal use. What may be a bit more difficult to explain is the change in action the tail’s orientation causes. Division Rebel Tackles distinguishes them as Mode A and Mode B – Mode A features an upturned tail whereas Mode B has the tail turned down. While this may appear insignificant, it actually changes the way the bait moves through the water drastically; think of it like a rudder behind a boat. Below is a graphic showing the action of the bait when each tail mode is applied.

  KLASH RETRIEVES
  The Klash will display very different actions when used with different configurations and retrieve speeds. Below is a comprehensive list of the two models and each of their configurations.
  

• Low-Float
  The Low-Float is a pretty rad bait. You can make this bait swim with a wide, uniform back and forth sway or a completely unpredictable side to side glide that has seemingly unlimited cadence opportunities.
• Lip in – Tail up:It’s got a rolling action with a really wide swimming motion like a hunting style crankbait. It’s definitely something that would appeal to all species of bass and even could work for some monster brown trout.
• Lip in – Tail down:Very predictable, uniform swimming action like a standard crankbait, cranks down pretty nicely.
• Lip out – Tail up:Not much action to it, it’s going to look like a screw bait or spy bait. It is probably the one configuration that doesn’t really do much for us.
• Lip out – Tail down:Once you add the DRT Klash Glide Weightsthis will become a glide bait with absolutely no predictability – it can and will swim back and forth and then just dart out randomly with no warning. If you impart some twitches or quick reels to it you’re gonna be able to do some trick maneuvers that will surprise even the most seasoned swimbait angler.

• Length:6.6″
• Weight:Low-Float – 2ounce
• Material:ABS plastic
• Rattles:Hi-Float – single knocker rattle. Low-Float no rattle.
