DRT Klash 9 Swimbait Spare Lip – Original
# **How to Choose the Right DRT Klash 9 Swimbait Spare Lip – Original**
As an avid angler and dedicated fishing blogger, I understand the importance of having the right gear to maximize success on the water. One of the most critical components of a high-performance swimbait setup is the lip—especially when using premium lures like the **DRT Klash 9**. The **Original Spare Lip** for the Klash 9 is an essential accessory for serious anglers, ensuring consistent action and durability. In this guide, I’ll break down how to choose the right spare lip for your needs, why it matters, and how it affects your lure’s performance.
## **Why the DRT Klash 9 Spare Lip Matters**
The **DRT Klash 9** is a legendary swimbait known for its aggressive swimming action and ability to trigger big strikes. However, the lip is prone to wear and tear, especially when fishing in heavy cover or around structure. A damaged or bent lip can drastically alter the lure’s action, reducing its effectiveness. That’s why having a **genuine DRT Klash 9 Original Spare Lip** is crucial—it ensures your bait maintains its intended performance.
## **Key Factors When Choosing a Spare Lip**
### **1. Material & Durability**
The **Original Spare Lip** is made from high-quality polycarbonate, designed to withstand hard strikes and tough conditions. Cheaper knockoff lips may crack or warp under pressure, so always opt for the **authentic DRT replacement** to maintain reliability.
### **2. Lip Size & Action**
The **Klash 9** comes with a specific lip design that controls dive depth and wobble. The **Original Spare Lip** replicates the exact dimensions of the stock lip, ensuring:
– **Consistent depth** (typically 3-5 feet, depending on retrieve speed)
– **Optimal wobble** for a natural, erratic swimming motion
– **Stable tracking** to prevent rolling or spinning
### **3. Compatibility**
Ensure you’re purchasing the **correct version** for the **Klash 9**, as DRT offers lips for other models (Klash 8, Tiny Klash, etc.). Using the wrong lip can ruin the bait’s action.
### **4. Color & Visibility (Optional)**
While most anglers stick with the **clear original lip**, some prefer colored or UV-coated options for added visibility in stained water. However, the standard clear lip is the most versatile.
## **When to Replace Your Klash 9 Lip**
– **Visible cracks or bends** that affect the lure’s action
– **Irregular wobble or rolling** during retrieval
– **After heavy use in rocky or woody areas**
## **Where to Buy the Authentic DRT Klash 9 Spare Lip**
To avoid counterfeit products, purchase directly from **authorized DRT dealers** or trusted retailers like **KyleBooker Fishing**. Genuine DRT lips ensure perfect fitment and performance.
## **Final Thoughts**
A high-quality spare lip is a small investment that can save your favorite swimbait from becoming ineffective. By choosing the **DRT Klash 9 Original Spare Lip**, you ensure your lure performs at its best, trip after trip.
