Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD11 – Target Cephalopods with Precise Depth Control

The Countdown Squid applies Rapala's legendary Countdown method to squid and octopus fishing, letting you reach hiding cephalopods at exactly the depth you need.

Countdown Method for Controlled Presentation

Unlike conventional squid jigs, the Countdown Squid sinks at approximately 30 cm per second, allowing you to count down to your target depth with precision. Whether cephalopods are holding near the surface or hugging structure at 3 m, you control exactly where your lure works.

Premium Balsa Construction with Double Hook Basket

The lightweight balsa body delivers a natural swimming action that triggers strikes from wary squid. Dual stainless steel hook baskets with 2×12 ultra-sharp points ensure reliable hook-ups and secure holds, even on soft-bodied cephalopods.

Choose the Right Variant

The Countdown Squid is available in two sizes to match conditions and target species. Both feature balsa construction and double stainless steel hook baskets.

• SQCD09 (9 cm, 12 g): Compact profile for calmer conditions, smaller squid, or finesse presentations in clear water

• SQCD11 (11 cm, 16 g): Larger silhouette for deeper work, bigger cephalopods, or when extra casting distance is needed – CG colour shown here
