Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD09 9cm 12g HP

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 approximately 30 cm per second so you can work any depth with pinpoint accuracy.

Balsa Body for Lifelike Movement

Crafted from lightweight balsa wood, the SQCD09 delivers a natural, enticing action that mimics real prey. The buoyant material allows for subtle movements during the sink and retrieve, triggering strikes from wary cephalopods.

Double Hook Basket for Secure Hookups

Equipped with a dual stainless steel basket featuring 2×12 ultra-sharp points, this lure provides exceptional hook-up rates. The corrosion-resistant hooks maintain their sharpness in saltwater conditions, ensuring reliable performance session after session.

Choose the Right Variant

The Countdown Squid series is available in two sizes to match different fishing scenarios and target sizes.

• SQCD09 (9 cm, 12 g) – Compact profile for finesse presentations, shallower waters, or when targeting smaller squid; ideal for lighter tackle setups. Colour HP offers a versatile pattern suited to various light conditions.

• SQCD11 (11 cm, 16 g) – Larger body and heavier weight for deeper water, stronger currents, or targeting bigger cephalopods; runs at approximately 3 m when trolled at low speed.
