Rapala Countdown lure 7 cm 8 g Rainbow Trout
The sinking balsa wood lure Rapala Countdown is the benchmark hardbait for targeting suspended and bottom-hugging predators using the controlled depth technique. With its dense 8-gram weighting, it offers exceptional castability in windy conditions and sinks steadily at one foot per second. On the drop and retrieve, it displays a subtle wounded-minnow swimming action in the realistic Rainbow Trout pattern, making it irresistible to trout, pike, zander, and perch holding deep.
