COUNTDOWN ELITE CDE55 GDGS
incl. VAT, excl.
The Countdown Elite combines over 80 years of Rapala lure-making expertise with modern construction. Its controlled slow-sinking action and enticing flutter on the drop trigger strikes from wary fish in shallow to mid-depth zones.
The signature slow-sinking behaviour allows you to count the lure down to your desired depth with precision. As it descends, the Countdown Elite produces a subtle flutter that mimics a wounded baitfish—irresistible to perch and trout holding at specific water layers.
A wire-through construction and heavy-duty split rings ensure durability, even when targeting hard-fighting fish around structure. The premium balsa body delivers exceptional casting distance and accuracy, letting you place the lure exactly where fish are feeding.
The Countdown Elite series offers multiple sizes and colours to match local forage and fishing conditions:
CDE35 (4.5 cm, 3.5 g): Ideal for ultra-light setups, small streams, and finicky trout or perch in clear water.
CDE55 (5.5 cm, 5 g) in Gilded Gold Shad: Versatile mid-size option for medium-light spinning gear, effective in stained water where gold/shad patterns excel.
CDE75 (7.5 cm, 10 g): Suited for larger perch, pike-perch, and trout in deeper or faster water; pairs well with medium spinning tackle.
CDE95 (9.5 cm, 14 g): Targets bigger predators; best for deeper lakes and rivers with stronger currents.
Gilded colour patterns (Gold Shad, Iwana, Wakasagi, Yamame, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Ayu, Vairon, etc.) combine metallic finishes and HD printing for lifelike flash and detail.
