Rapala Countdown Elite Crankbait 7.5cm 1.2m 10g GDVR Gilded Vairon

Rapala Countdown Elite 7.5cm Gilded Vairon – Premium Balsa Crankbait for Controlled Depth Fishing

Over 80 years of lure-making expertise condensed into one high-performance sinking crankbait. The Countdown Elite lets you count down to the exact depth where trout and perch are holding.

Target Every Water Layer with Precision

The controlled slow-sinking action allows you to systematically explore different depths. Simply cast, count down to your desired depth, and start your retrieve. This methodical approach helps you locate fish faster and present your lure exactly where it needs to be.

Built Tough for Lasting Performance

A wire-through construction provides a solid backbone that handles hard-fighting fish, while heavy-duty split rings prevent lost catches. The premium balsa body delivers the buoyancy needed for that signature fluttering action on the drop—an irresistible trigger for predators.

Choose the Right Variant

The Countdown Elite series offers multiple sizes to match your target species and fishing conditions.

• CDE35 (4.5cm / 3.5g, 0.9m depth): Ultra-finesse option for small streams, selective trout, and pressured perch

• CDE55 (5.5cm / 5g, 0.9m depth): Versatile mid-size for stream trout, perch in lakes, and light spinning setups

• CDE75 (7.5cm / 10g, 1.2m depth): Ideal for medium-sized trout and larger perch; good casting weight for covering water—Gilded Vairon finish in this variant
