Rapala Countdown Elite Crankbait 7.5cm 1.2m 10g GDRB

Rapala Countdown Elite CDE75 GDRB — Premium Balsa Crankbait for Controlled Depth Fishing

The Countdown Elite combines over 80 years of Rapala craftsmanship with modern construction, delivering a premium sinking crankbait that excels at targeting trout and perch in the 1.2 m zone.

Controlled Slow-Sinking Action

The legendary countdown method lets you precisely target specific depths. Cast out, count down to your desired depth, and start your retrieve. The enticing flutter on the drop triggers strikes from wary fish before you even begin working the lure.

Built for Durability and Distance

Wire-through construction and heavy-duty split rings ensure this lure handles aggressive strikes and hard-fighting fish. The premium balsa body maintains a perfect balance, enabling impressive casting distance and pinpoint accuracy even in challenging conditions.
