Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD09 9cm 3m 12g BSRD

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 roughly 30 cm per second so you can reach the exact depth where cephalopods hide.

Balsa Body for Lifelike Action

Crafted from lightweight balsa wood, the SQCD09 delivers a natural, enticing movement in the water. This buoyant yet responsive construction transmits every twitch and pause, triggering strikes from wary squid.

Double Basket Hooks for Secure Hookups

Two stainless steel hook baskets with 2×12 extra-sharpened points ensure reliable hook sets. The circular arrangement grips tentacles securely, reducing the chance of lost catches during the fight.

The Countdown Squid series is available in two sizes and multiple colour patterns to match conditions and target behaviour.
