Rapala Countdown CD05 Crankbaits 5cm 0.9–1.8m 5g P

Rapala Countdown CD05 – Reach Fish at Any Depth with Precision

The Rapala Countdown CD05 in colour P lets you count down to suspended fish and stay in the strike zone longer, thanks to its slow-sinking balsa construction and signature rolling action.

Target Every Water Layer

Whether fish hold just below the surface, over weed beds, or near bottom structure, the Countdown's controlled sink rate lets you reach them consistently. Simply cast, count down to your desired depth, and retrieve – a technique that puts you in contact with fish others miss.

Irresistible Rolling Action

The internal weighting and premium balsa body produce Rapala's classic slow-rolling swim that triggers strikes from wary predators. On pause, the lure flutters enticingly, mimicking a wounded baitfish and prompting reaction bites.

Choose the Right Variant

The Countdown series spans multiple sizes and colours to match local forage and conditions:

• CD01 (2.5 cm) – Ultra-finesse presentations for small stream trout and panfish

• CD03 (3 cm) – Compact profile for pressured trout and perch in clear water

• CD07 (7 cm) – Mid-sized option targeting larger trout, pike, and zander

• CD09 (9 cm) – Increased casting distance and appeal for pike and bigger predators
