COUNTDOWN ELITE CDE35 GDYM
incl. VAT, excl.
The Countdown Elite combines over 80 years of Rapala lure-making expertise into a compact, finesse-sized crankbait that excels when targeting trout and perch in shallow water.
The premium balsa body delivers the legendary controlled slow-sinking action that made the original CountDown famous. As the lure descends, it flutters enticingly—triggering strikes from fish that ignore conventional retrieves. This makes it ideal for working structure, drop-offs, and cold-water situations where a slower presentation is key.
Modern construction ensures maximum casting distance and pinpoint accuracy, even with this lightweight 3.5 g design. Wire-through construction and heavy-duty split rings provide the backbone to handle hard-fighting fish, while 2× strong VMC Black Nickel treble hooks (size 12) offer reliable hookups.
The Countdown Elite series spans multiple sizes and colour patterns to match local forage and conditions:
4.5 cm / 3.5 g (CDE35) – Gilded Yamame: Compact finesse size for stream trout, small river perch, and ultra-clear water; running depth 0.9 m
