Let the sinking lure descend while you count, then begin retrieving at the desired depth. This lets you reach fish below the surface, above weeds or near bottom structure. It continues to sink and flutter during pauses, so it does not stay suspended when you stop winding.
Compare the stated running ranges: CD01 0.3–0.9 m, CD03 0.6–0.9 m, CD05 0.9–1.8 m, CD07 1.5–2.4 m, CD09 2.1–3 m and CD11 2.7–3.9 m. The larger models also have larger profiles and greater weights, from 2.5 cm and 3 g to 11 cm and 16 g, so choose depth and lure size together.
The CD05 is described for spinning for trout and perch in rivers and lakes. It is 5 cm long, weighs 5 g and has a stated running depth of 0.9–1.8 m, making it the supported choice when you want that profile and depth range for these fish.
The manufacturer-listed variants have VMC® Black Nickel hooks, with one #12 on CD01 and two hooks on the larger models. CD05 Orange Tiger specifies Black Nickel hooks in size #10 but no count or model. Use pliers for handling and a separate closed, dry tackle box for storage to avoid exposed hooks and reduce rust.

The Rapala Countdown® is a sinking balsa crankbait with a natural minnow profile. Count it down before retrieving to reach fish suspended below the surface, above weed tops or around bottom structure. Its internal weighting produces a slow rolling action on the retrieve, and the lure flutters during pauses. The CD05 is specifically described for spinning for trout and perch in rivers and lakes.
The sinking design lets you vary the starting depth by changing the countdown before you wind in. Rolling action works during retrieval, while a pause lets the lure sink and flutter rather than remain suspended. Choose the model's stated running depth to suit the water layer you want to fish.
| Model | Length | Weight | Stated running depth | Hook size | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | CD01 | 2.5 cm | 3 g | 0.3–0.9 m | #12 | | CD03 | 3 cm | 4 g | 0.6–0.9 m | #12 | | CD05 | 5 cm | 5 g | 0.9–1.8 m | #10 | | CD07 | 7 cm | 8 g | 1.5–2.4 m | #7 | | CD09 | 9 cm | 12 g | 2.1–3 m | #5 | | CD11 | 11 cm | 16 g | 2.7–3.9 m | #3 |
CD01 and CD03 offer the smallest profiles and shallowest stated ranges. CD05 steps up to a 5 cm profile and is the explicitly supported trout and perch option. CD07 reaches an intermediate depth range. CD09 and CD11 offer larger profiles, more weight and deeper stated running ranges. Moving up in size therefore changes both the lure's profile and its working depth, not just its weight. Check the individual colour and model combination, as the same colours are not offered in every size.
The balsa body provides the minnow-shaped profile, while the internal weights provide the rolling action and sinking behaviour. Rapala describes the line as hand-tuned and tank-tested. VMC® Black Nickel hooks are specified for the manufacturer-listed variants, with one #12 hook on CD01 and two hooks on CD03 through CD11. The CD05 Orange Tiger listing specifies Black Nickel hooks in size #10 without naming their model or count.
The range includes classic and modern patterns. Supplier-linked colour names include Silver, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Live Brown Trout, Legendary Perch, Bleak, Pearl UV, firetiger and Orange Tiger. Other finishes are identified by their supplied codes. Choose the exact finish from the variant rather than assuming a colour code describes a particular water condition. The CD05 supplier listing specifies one lure in the selected colour.
Handle the sharp hooks with care and use pliers when attaching or removing the lure. Check hooks, the body and connections for damage before fishing, and do not use a damaged lure. Store it in a separate, securely closed tackle box and keep the box dry to reduce rust on the hooks. Keep it away from unsupervised children and pets, and follow local fishing rules.
