Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD11 11cm 16g OTU

Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD11 OTU – Target Cephalopods at Controlled Depths

The Countdown Squid applies Rapala's proven countdown technique to squid and octopus fishing, letting you reach the exact depth where cephalopods hide.

Precision Depth Control with the Countdown Method

Unlike conventional squid jigs, the Countdown Squid sinks at approximately 30 cm per second, allowing you to count down to your target depth before beginning retrieval. This systematic approach helps you methodically work different water columns until you locate active squid.

Premium Balsa Construction with Dual Hook Basket

Crafted from lightweight balsa wood, this lure offers a natural swimming action that triggers strikes from wary cephalopods. The double stainless steel hook basket features 2x12 extra-sharpened points, ensuring secure hook-ups when tentacles make contact.

Choose the Right Variant

The Countdown Squid series is available in two sizes and multiple colour patterns. Select based on target species, water conditions, and local forage.

• SQCD11 11 cm / 16 g models (including OTU): Better casting distance, suited for deeper water or when targeting larger squid

• Flashy/contrast patterns (FT, HT, HP, BRH, OTU): Low light, murky water, or when squid are aggressive
