COUNTDOWN ELITE CDE35 GDVR
incl. VAT, excl.
The Countdown Elite brings over 80 years of Rapala craftsmanship into a modern, high-performance balsa lure built for precision casting and irresistible presentation.
The Countdown Elite features the legendary controlled slow-sinking method that made the original CountDown famous. As it descends, the lure produces a seductive fluttering action that triggers strikes from wary trout and perch. This allows you to count down to your desired depth and work specific water layers with confidence.
Modern construction delivers maximum casting distance and pinpoint accuracy. The wire-through design paired with heavy-duty split rings and 2X strong VMC Black Nickel treble hooks ensures this lure can handle aggressive fish. Premium balsa provides the responsive action while the metallic plating and HD printing create lifelike finishes.
The Countdown Elite series offers multiple sizes and colours to match your target species and fishing conditions:
