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

Rapala Countdown Elite – Premium Balsa Crankbait with Controlled Sink Rate

The Countdown Elite combines over 80 years of Rapala lure-making expertise into a top-tier balsa wobbler that excels at targeting trout and perch in waters up to 1.2 m deep.

Irresistible Flutter Action

The signature controlled slow-sinking action produces a seductive flutter on the drop that triggers strikes from wary fish. This natural falling presentation mimics injured baitfish perfectly, making it deadly in clear streams and lakes where fish have seen it all.

Built for Distance and Durability

Modern construction features a wire-through design and heavy-duty split rings for reliable hook-ups, while the premium balsa body delivers exceptional casting distance and accuracy. The 2× strong VMC 7554 Black Nickel treble hooks (size 10) ensure solid penetration and holding power.
