Rapala Countdown Magnum Crankbait 18cm 5.4–6.3m 70g SM

Rapala Countdown Magnum 18cm SM – Deep-Diving Trolling Power for Saltwater Predators

The Countdown Magnum in Silver Mackerel is a proven trolling lure built to reach suspended fish in open water. Its controlled sinking rate and classic Rapala wobble action make it a reliable choice for targeting pelagic species at depth.

Reaches the Strike Zone

With a running depth of 5.4–6.3 m, this 18 cm model dives into the mid-water column where larger predators often hold. The deep-diving metal lip and anti-broach design keep the lure stable even at higher trolling speeds, ensuring consistent action throughout the retrieve.

Built for Saltwater Demands

Constructed from ultra-tough Abachi wood with rugged stainless hardware, the Countdown Magnum withstands the corrosive saltwater environment. VMC Perma Steel hooks (2 × #4/0) resist rust and maintain their sharpness, while each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested for reliable out-of-the-box performance.
