Rapala Countdown lure 7 cm 8 g Perch
The sinking balsa wood lure Rapala Countdown in the classic Perch finish is the benchmark hardbait for systematically targeting predators holding at specific depths. Weighing 8 grams, it ensures long and accurate casting even in heavy wind with a predictable sink rate. On the drop and steady retrieve, it maintains a legendary wounded-minnow rolling action during spinning, triggering aggressive strikes from perch, pike, zander, and trout holding near bottom structure.
