Rapala Countdown Elite Crankbait 7.5cm 1.2m 10g Gilded Rainbow Trout

Rapala Countdown Elite – Premium Balsa Crankbait with Controlled Slow-Sinking Action

The Countdown Elite brings over 80 years of Rapala craftsmanship into a modern balsa lure designed to reach trout and perch in the strike zone with precision.

Irresistible Flutter on the Drop

The controlled slow-sinking action produces a seductive flutter as the lure descends, triggering strikes from wary fish. The premium balsa body ensures consistent, lifelike movement at a running depth of 1.2 m, ideal for targeting suspended fish in rivers, streams, and lakes.

Built for Distance and Durability

Modern wire-through construction paired with heavy-duty split rings delivers maximum casting distance and accuracy while standing up to hard-fighting fish. Two VMC 7554 Black Nickel treble hooks (size 10) provide reliable hook-ups, and the metallic plating combined with HD printing creates a realistic Gilded Rainbow Trout finish.
