Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD09 9cm 12g CG

Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD09 – Target Cephalopods with Precision Depth Control

The Countdown Squid lets you apply Rapala's legendary Countdown method to squid and octopus fishing, sinking at a steady rate of approximately 30 cm per second to reach your target depth with repeatable accuracy.

Balsa Construction for Lifelike Action

Crafted from lightweight balsa wood, the SQCD09 delivers a natural, enticing movement in the water that triggers strikes from wary cephalopods. The buoyant core combined with precise weighting creates an irresistible diving action.

Double Stainless Steel Hook Basket

Equipped with a dual basket featuring 2×12 ultra-sharp stainless steel points, this lure ensures secure hook-ups once a squid or octopus commits. The corrosion-resistant construction stands up to saltwater conditions season after season.

Choose the Right Variant

• SQCD09 (9 cm, 12 g): Compact profile ideal for smaller squid, shallow to mid-depth casting, and finesse presentations in calm conditions
