Rapala Countdown Elite Crankbait 7.5cm 1.2m 10g Gilded Iwana

Rapala Countdown Elite Crankbait 7.5 cm – Premium Balsa Lure with Legendary Slow-Sinking Action

The Countdown Elite brings over 80 years of Rapala craftsmanship into a modern balsa crankbait designed for controlled slow-sinking and an irresistible flutter on the drop.

Wire-Through Construction for Maximum Durability

A solid wire axis runs through the entire lure body, paired with heavy-duty split rings for reliable connections. This robust build withstands repeated strikes and keeps you fishing longer, even when targeting aggressive perch or hard-fighting trout.

Precise Casting and Controlled Descent

The 10 g weight and refined balsa body deliver impressive casting distance and accuracy. Once in the water, the lure sinks slowly and steadily to its 1.2 m running depth, fluttering enticingly to trigger reaction bites from wary fish.

Choose the Right Variant

The Countdown Elite series offers multiple sizes and colours to match conditions, target species, and personal preference:

• CDE35 (4.5 cm, 3.5 g, 0.9 m depth): Compact option for finesse presentations, smaller trout, and cautious perch in clear or pressured waters

• CDE55 (5.5 cm, 5 g, 0.9 m depth): Versatile mid-size for general trout and perch fishing in streams and lakes

• CDE75 (7.5 cm, 10 g, 1.2 m depth): Larger profile for deeper water and bigger fish; Gilded Iwana offers a natural char pattern ideal for trout-rich environments

• CDE95 (9.5 cm, 14 g, 1.2 m depth): The largest variant for covering more water and tempting specimen-sized predators
