Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD09 9cm 3m 12g GT

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 count down to the exact depth where cephalopods are holding.

Balsa Body for Lifelike Action

Crafted from lightweight balsa wood, this lure delivers a natural, enticing swimming action that triggers strikes from cautious squid. The buoyant core allows for responsive movement even at slow retrieve speeds.

Double Hook Basket for Secure Hookups

Equipped with two stainless steel hook crowns featuring 2×12 extra-sharpened points, the Countdown Squid ensures reliable hook penetration and secure holds on soft-bodied cephalopods.

Choose the Right Variant

The Countdown Squid series offers two sizes to match conditions and target size. Select based on water depth, current strength, and the species you expect to encounter.

• SQCD09 (9 cm, 12 g): Compact profile for shallower water, lighter tackle, or smaller squid species. Ideal for casting from shore or slow trolling in calm conditions. GT colour suits low-light or murky water.

• SQCD11 (11 cm, 16 g): Larger silhouette for deeper presentations, stronger currents, or targeting bigger cephalopods.
