Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD09 9cm 12g BRH

Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD09 – Target Cephalopods with Precision Depth Control

The Countdown Squid lets you apply Rapala's proven Countdown method to squid and octopus fishing, sinking at approximately 30 cm per second so you can work any depth with pinpoint accuracy.

Balsa Body for Lifelike Action

Crafted from lightweight balsa wood, the SQCD09 delivers a natural, enticing movement that triggers strikes from wary cephalopods. The diving action mimics prey behaviour, drawing squid out of their hiding spots along rocky structures.

Double Basket Hook System

Equipped with a double basket featuring 2×12 extra-sharpened stainless steel points, this lure ensures secure hook-ups once a squid commits. The robust stainless steel construction resists corrosion in saltwater environments.

Choose the Right Variant

The Countdown Squid series is available in two sizes to match conditions and target species.

• SQCD09 (9 cm, 12 g): Compact profile for shallower water, lighter tackle, or when squid are feeding on smaller prey – ideal for finesse presentations and casting from shore. Current variant: BRH colour.

• SQCD11 (11 cm, 16 g): Larger size reaches depths around 3 m and suits heavier setups or bigger cephalopods; effective when slow-trolling.
