Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD09 9cm 12g GBT

Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD09 – Target Cephalopods with Precision Depth Control

The Countdown Squid applies Rapala's legendary countdown method to squid and octopus fishing, letting you systematically work through the water column at roughly 30 cm per second.

Balsa Body for Lifelike Movement

Crafted from premium balsa wood, the SQCD09 delivers a natural, enticing action that triggers strikes from curious cephalopods. The lightweight construction ensures responsive movement even at slow retrieves.

Double Stainless Steel Basket for Secure Hookups

Equipped with a 2x12 stainless steel hook basket featuring extra-sharpened points, this lure provides reliable holding power once a squid or octopus latches on. The corrosion-resistant material stands up to saltwater conditions.

Choose the Right Variant

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

• SQCD09 (9 cm, 12 g) – Compact size ideal for smaller squid, shallower waters, or finesse presentations; GBT colour offers a balanced, natural appearance

• SQCD11 (11 cm, 16 g) – Larger profile for bigger cephalopods, deeper trolling, or when more casting distance is needed
