DT-20s coming out?

[montiac1]

I just saw (what were advertised as) some custom-painted DT-20s on ebay. It looks like they are just a DT-16 with a weight in the end of the bill. If this is for real, anyone have any more info on when these might be available?

I haven't heard any chatter about a DT 20 coming out.

Ya, I hadn't heard anything either. The ebay seller claims they weren't available in stores yet but that David Fritts recently used the bait to help him win an FLW Series event. Here's an article where Fritts does mention the DT-20: flwserieseast.flwoutdoors.com/tournament.cfm?cid=11&t=news&tday=4&atype=3&tid=6039&tyear=2008&aid=149293

There are a couple of them listed on ebay...one is Item number 170278007301.

DT-20's should be available by Spring 2009. It's probably a prototype given to their pro staff in 2008, that ended up in the hands of a custom painter.

can any one confirm or deny that there were some dt20 without the metal disc that where out there and then recalled for not achieving depth. i have heard a rumor about early dt20s without metal that were seen in the wild. not sure if its true, but if it is, having a dt20(printed on the lip) without the disc would be a real nice find.
