Rapala Countdown CD05 TRL – Precision Depth Control for Trout and Beyond

The Rapala Countdown CD05 in TRL lets you target fish at any depth with pinpoint accuracy. Count it down to where the fish are holding, then retrieve with the signature Rapala rolling action.

Reach Fish Where They Hide

Whether trout are suspended mid-column, hovering above weed beds, or hugging bottom structure, the Countdown's sinking design lets you count the lure down to the exact strike zone. This controlled-depth technique eliminates guesswork and keeps your lure in productive water longer.

Irresistible Rolling Action

The premium balsa body generates Rapala's legendary slow-rolling swimming action during retrieve. On pause, the lure flutters enticingly as it sinks, triggering reaction strikes from hesitant fish.

Choose the Right Variant

The Countdown series spans multiple sizes and colours to match your target species and conditions. Smaller models excel for trout and panfish in streams and small waters, while larger versions handle pike, zander, and bass in open water.
