Rapala Countdown lure 7 cm 8 g Silver
The sinking balsa wood lure Rapala Countdown in the iconic Silver finish is the benchmark hardbait for targeting fish at any depth using the controlled depth technique. Boasting an 8-gram weight, it provides exceptional casting distance and accuracy even in windy conditions. While sinking and during steady retrieves, it produces the legendary wounded-minnow rolling action during spinning, emitting irresistible bright flank flashes that provoke strikes from trout, perch, zander, and pike holding near the bottom.
